Recent developments in mortality We are seeing unprecedented change
For men aged 65-74 in England & Wales
the reduction in mortality rates over the
past 15 years was similar to that
achieved over the previous 150 years We are seeing unprecedented change reduction in mortality rates for England & Wales aged (smoothed) We are seeing unprecedented change
In the UK actuaries’ estimates of male
probably changed more in the past 10 years than in the previous 100 years We are seeing unprecedented change Projected expectancy pensioners published actuarial tables and projections

Partly due to the emergence of the “cohort effect”
In the UK men and women born in the period 1925-45 have
experienced more rapid reductions in mortality rates than
generations born either before, or after, this period
But not entirely… accelerated for all birth reduction in mortality rates for England & year of birth (smoothed) Circulatory disease mortality dominates trends Share of current improvements for 1930-34 birth cohort, males in the population of England & Wales, by cause of death Using the p-spline model with cause-of-death data
Mortality data by cause of death for England & Wales is generally
Causes need to be sub-divided into relatively broad categories
It is important to allow for the impact of changes in cause
A model has been developed with James Kirkby
Model needs to allow for step-changes in cause classification smoothed and adjusted log mortality rates for England & Wales for all causes other circulatory and cancer by Model fitted to circulatory causes mortality rate decline by age and calendar using a p- model fitted e to mortality rates for England & Wales for all circulatory Accelerating improvements for circulatory disease reduction in circulatory mortality rates for England & year of birth (smoothed) The National Service Framework (NSF) for Heart Disease
