Seek to explain the declining mortality rates observed in Switzerland using a different approach from conventional period analyses.
Analysis of the mortality rates for cohorts born between 1880 and 1980 in Switzerland.
While the mortality transition was a constant feature of the 20th century, mortality receded most sharply among the 1900 to 1940 birth cohorts. Life expectancy gains were much lower for the pre-1900 cohorts, while early trends for the post-1940 cohorts point to a slowdown in the rate of mortality decline. These findings may be connected with the social and health conditions in which the different cohorts lived.
In contrast to the cross-sectional analysis, the longitudinal approach shows that the decline in mortality suddenly stops with the 1940 cohort.
采用与传统时期分析不同的方法，试图解释瑞士观察到的死亡率下降情况。
对瑞士1880年至1980年出生队列的死亡率进行分析。
虽然死亡率转变是20世纪的一个持续特征，但在1900年至1940年出生队列中，死亡率下降最为显著。1900年前的队列预期寿命增长要低得多，而1940年后队列的早期趋势表明死亡率下降速度放缓。这些发现可能与不同队列所生活的社会和健康状况有关。
与横断面分析不同，纵向研究方法表明，1940年队列之后死亡率下降突然停止。
