SUMMARY:Online Lecture 3: Life course determinants of mortality
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer: Prof. Tommy Bengtsson\, Lund University \n\n\n\nContent of the lecture/ workshop: The lecture starts with an overview of the long-term mortality decline contrasting underlying period and cohort factors. It reviews the studies from the 1930s onwards in which synthetic cohorts based on country data have been used\, as well as later studies at regional levels\, and their limitations. It then introduces life-cycle models and biological and social mechanisms to understand health patterns and gives examples using longitudinal individual-level data. It gives examples of how shocks in food supply and disease exposure in early life lead to social and economic disadvantages later in life as well as to poor health. \n\n\n\nObjectives of the lecture/ workshop: On a general level the student will acquire knowledge about theories explaining the role of life-course factors for health and well-being. It will also introduce ways to apply causal modeling combining contextual information with longitudinal individual level data. \n\n\n\nRequirements: Active participation\, and it is advisable to review two articles to facilitate an informed discussion during class. \n\n\n\nRecommended reading:  \n\n\n\n\nBarker\, D.
