Stagnation in old age mortality among Finnish women: cause-of-death decomposition of life expectancy trends by income
<b>The stagnating life expectancy observed among Finnish women cannot be attributed solely to one cause of death. In contrast to findings on the topic from many other developed countries, smoking-related causes of death were of little significance. The stagnation is linked to growing inequality in mortality development among older women in Finland, which affects the overall trend.</b>
