Abstract

Cohort mortality from 1880-1980 in Switzerland Objectives: Seek to explain the declining mortality rates observed in Switzerland using a different approach from conventional period analyses. Methods: Analysis of the mortality rates for cohorts born between 1880 and 1980 in Switzerland. Results: While the mortality transition was a constant feature of the 20 th 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. Conclusion: In contrast to the cross-sectional analysis, the longitudinal approach shows that the decline in mortality suddenly stops with the 1940 cohort. Copyright Birkhäuser Verlag Basel, 2002
