Authors:	S. Jay Olshansky S. Siegel, Jacob
Keywords:	Epidemiology of Human Health
Issue Date:	2012

Description:	The book describes the latest sources of data on mortality and population health and presents the principal research findings based on these sources. It brings together the latest methods of measuring population health phenomena, including those for mortality, morbidity, and combinations of measures of mortality and morbidity. In this connection it considers such varied measures as the many types of life tables, the design of health surveys, and geographic information systems for health research and administration. While maintaining a primary focus on the demographic and epidemiological aspects of the subjects treated, the book covers socioeconomic variations in mortality and health, reproductive health, the health determinants and consequences of migration, health policy and administration, and selected bioethical issues. The measures described are often illustrated with examples in the form of calculation paradigms, so that the reader has a model for replicating the measures, and I suggest software packages for implementing some of the more elaborate methods described.
