- The effect of reducing mortality at a given age depends on deaths’ importance for life expectancy, survival to that age, and equality among survivors to that age. — Drewnowski’s index to measure lifespan variation: Revisiting the Gini coefficient of the life table
- Mortality improvement at younger ages compresses deaths into a narrower age interval and increases lifespan equality. — Drewnowski’s index to measure lifespan variation: Revisiting the Gini coefficient of the life table
- Mortality improvement at older ages spreads deaths across a wider age interval and increases inequality by extending some already long lives. — Drewnowski’s index to measure lifespan variation: Revisiting the Gini coefficient of the life table
- The study expresses changes in Drewnowski’s index as weighted averages of age-specific mortality improvements. — Drewnowski’s index to measure lifespan variation: Revisiting the Gini coefficient of the life table
- The threshold age can help decompose mortality change by age and clarify how age-specific hazards shape ages at death. — Drewnowski’s index to measure lifespan variation: Revisiting the Gini coefficient of the life table
