| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 31R0x7fN. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objective : To compare the mortality for women in Sweden, Norway and Denmark in order to search for clues for the low life expectancy of Danish women. Methods : Prospective age-period-cohort study covering 40 years for all Swedish, Norwegian and Danish women aged 40-84 during the period 1960-2000, and born 1900-1950. Outcome measures : Relative risks and 95% confidence intervals for deaths. Results : The high risk of dying among Danish women was associated with being born between the two World Wars, and that a similar pattern was not found for women in Norway and Sweden. A tendency of a cohort effect was observed for Swedish women born around 1940. Conclusions : The currently low life expectancy of Danish women compared with that of women in Norway and Sweden is partly a transitional phenomenon caused by excessive death rates for women born between the two World Wars. Data on smoking prevalence by birth cohort and age indicate that a high percentage of Danish women in these cohorts were smokers throughout their adult life. |
