Description: Paper presented at Living to 100 symposium January 2002. Study describes the increase in life expectancy at birth in Japan, the emergence of centenarians, the trends in the number of deaths of centenarians, and the increase in maximum reported age at death.

Description: Presented at Living to 100 Symposium, January 2011. This paper examines the trends of mortality improvement in the United States for the consideration of the task force set up in 2010 to review the life tables for Group Annuity and the related assumptions for mortality improvement 'Scale AA', using more recent information from the Social Security Administration life tables and data derived from the Human Mortality Database.

Description: The purpose of this note is to demonstrate a general method for the solution of average age at death problems. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1950, Vol. 2, No. 2.

Description: This abstract introduces the paper that demonstrates that marital status has as much influence on rates of human mortality as the better known factors of gender and smoking habits. The validity of various explanations is examined.
