Description:	This book deals with demography and health issues with special attention on population aging, mortality, and data analysis. Emphasis is done on the introduction and use of quantitative methods and advanced data analysis methods in various aspects of demography and health. The quantitative methods, with the aid of informatics and computing, received special attention in the last decades of the twentieth century and have further developed and applied in the first part of the twenty-first century. These methods already have done considerable changes in various scientific fields and of course in estimating vital aspects of demography and health. Mortality, population aging, and data analysis are further developed while the tools used are friendly to end user. Accordingly, a large number of people are “ready” to understand and apply the new tools, thanks to the fastgrowing literature both theoretical and applied along with many “computer packages” and visual support. The interdisciplinary works are considered as an important task of the new era along with the development of fields like Data Science and Big Data Analysis important to handle large data sets familiar in international studies in demography and health sciences. In a view the twenty-first century is already characterized by an optimistic way of data analysis approaches. We have a large number of people educated and trained to collect and store data sets and vast and expanded networks to disseminate information. Demography and health have most benefited and more developments are in progress. Accordingly we have edited this book by selecting and providing the material in order to support the quantitative data handling along with qualitative study and analysis. This book covers very important topics on demography and health issues organized in six chapters.
