Large swaths of the United States are showing decreasing or stagnating life expectancy even as the nation's overall longevity trend has continued upwards, according to a county-by-county study of life expectancy over two decades. In one-quarter of the country, girls born today may live shorter lives than their mothers and the country as a whole is falling behind other industrialized nations in the march toward longer life, according to the study.
Medical aid in Africa is provided by medical schemes - private health insurance for medical expenses. In the past, most medical schemes either limited or excluded HIV/AIDS and related conditions from benefits. High health-care costs associated with the disease often drove these exclusions. Recent legislation is attempting to ensure that more coverage is available. In 1998, the Medical Schemes Act was passed to eliminate risk-rating sick members or excluding bad risks. A national program to provide antiretroviral drugs is expected to be rolled out to treat about 25% of the country's HIV-positive population by 2008. Without antiretroviral drugs, the life expectancy for those with HIV in Africa is only 8 to 10 years.
The Board of Trustees of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Disability Insurance (OASDI) Trust Funds reports on the current and projected future financial status of the trust funds annually. The Trustees project trust fund finances 75 years into the future. Mortality is one key demographic assumption that feeds into these long-range projections. This article reviews a range of predictions about long-term mortality improvement and assesses where the Trustees' 75-year mortality projection falls within this range. In general, the predictions of future mortality declines in the 2004 Social Security Trustees Report tend to be in the mainstream of professional actuarial and international official government opinion and to be lower than the majority of the small group of demograph...

The paper attempts to examine the socio-economic determinants of life expectancy for 91 developing countries using multiple regression and probit frameworks. Disaggregated probit regression has been applied for three groups of countries with low, medium and high life expectancy. Most of explanatory variables turned out to be statistically insignificant, which imply that relevant socio-economic factors like per capita income, education, health expenditure, access to safe water, and urbanization cannot always be considered to be influential in determining life expectancy in developing countries. Based on the analyses it has been suggested that the countries should formulate and implement appropriate social sector policies and programs to increase physicians' availability, and reduce adult...
