  • Modeling Shifting Mortality, and Its Applications

    ISHII, Futoshi, Springer, 2023.08

     View Summary

    This book describes a novel method for mortality modeling applying the shifting feature of the mortality curve. In Japan, the increase and pace of the extension in life expectancy have been quite remarkable. Therefore, existing mortality models often cannot capture the peculiarities of Japanese mortality, nor can the Lee–Carter model, which is now regarded internationally as a standard model. One of the important concepts to model recent Japanese mortality is a shifting feature. In this book, the linear difference model, which has many advantages for modeling and analyzing Japanese mortality, is introduced. The book shows applications of the model to mortality projection with a tangent vector field approach and decomposition of the change of modal age at death. The models introduced here are useful tools for modeling mortality with strong shifting features, as in Japan.

  • Centenarians and Supercentenarians in Japan

    Saito Y., Ishii F., Robine J.M., Demographic Research Monographs, 2021

     View Summary

    In this chapter, we use censuses, lists of centenarians, and vital statistics to describe the demography of centenarians, defined as the group of people who are 100 years old or older. We also refer to the group of people between the ages of 105 and 109 as semi-supercentenarians. Finally, we refer to those individuals who reach the age of 110 and beyond as supercentenarians. Although our ability to describe centenarians using these data is currently very limited, censuses and the lists of centenarians can be used to determine the number of people who survive to age 100 or older. Moreover, vital statistics provides the number of deaths, by single year of age and by sex, for those who died above the age of 100 since 1899. Our study examines trends in the highest ages at death for each year between 1963 and 2015, and shows increasing trends during this period. Using the number of deaths and applying the extinct cohort method, we estimate the level of mortality of people aged 100 or older, as well as trends in mortality. We observe decreasing trends in mortality levels among people who have reached very high ages, even as mortality continues to increase with age until very high ages.

  • Senility deaths in aged societies: The case of Japan

    Hayashi R., Imanaga T., Marui E., Kinoshita H., Ishii F., Shinohara E., Beppu M.

    Global Health and Medicine 6 ( 1 ) 40 - 48 2024

    ISSN  24349186

     View Summary

    Senility is now the third largest cause of death in Japan, comprising 11.4% of the total number of deaths in 2022. Although senility deaths were common in the period before the Second World War, they declined sharply from 1950 to 2000 and then increased up to the present. The recent increase is more than what we could expect from an increasing number of very old persons or the increasing number of deaths at facilities. The senility death description in the death certificate is becoming poorer, with 93.8% of them only with a single entry of "senility". If other diseases are mentioned, those are again vague diseases or conditions. Senility, dementia and Alzheimer's disease, sequelae of cerebrovascular disease, and heart failure are the largest causes of death in which senility is mentioned in the death certificate. The period from senility onset to death is often described within a few months, but it varies. In some cases, the deceased's age was written out of a conviction that the ageing process starts from birth. As senility is perceived differently among the certifying doctors, a standardised protocol to certify the senility death is needed. On the other hand, senility death is the preferred cause of death and many people do not wish to receive invasive medical examinations before dying peacefully. Together with other causes of death related to frailty, there would be a need to capture senility as a proper cause of death, not just as a garbage code, in the aged, low-mortality population.
