"This was definitely not well-documented, not much attention has been paid to it," the study's lead author told me. A Norwegian demographer put it more bluntly: "I've been screaming that we need more research about men for the last 20 years." (2/3)

¿Están aún en línea?

And also Eurostat has life expectancy info by educational attainment 🙂

Here is a recent (and excellent) article for the US. In the supplemental information (OSF) you can find the nDx by education and cause: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
I understand that also Sweden has it, but I haven't explored the information (www.statistikdatabasen.scb.se/pxweb/en/ssd...).

The rich are responsible for an outsized share of carbon emissions — the top 10% account for 48%.

And the gap is growing.

Since 1990, the richest 1% have increased their share of emissions by 13%, while the poorest 50% have seen theirs fall by 3%.

Súper recomendado! 😊

Um pássaro de porte médio, com plumagem predominantemente amarela vibrante no corpo e na cabeça. As asas e a parte superior das costas são de um preto intenso e contrastante. O bico é fino e preto, e os olhos possuem uma máscara escura ao redor. O pássaro está empoleirado em uma folha verde larga e texturizada, com fundo desfocado em tons de verde. A postura é atenta, com o corpo ligeiramente inclinado para frente. Atenção: O alt da imagem foi gerado automaticamente.

At Our World in Data, we spend much of our time counting deaths.

But it’s just as important to know the number of lives saved — even though it is harder to estimate and involves much larger uncertainty.

My Data Insight today includes this chart of some estimates.

Hello #dataBS (& especially #TidyTuesday) fam! I'm trying to organize a thing to help me keep TidyTuesday running smoothly, but first I need to get a bit of a runway. Every week I curate a TT dataset, and it's wearing me down. Please see github.com/rfordatascie... for some ways you can help! #RStats

Open access version of the article here: osf.io/preprints/so...

Thank you, @socarxiv.bsky.social

Lina María Sanchez-Cespedes presents a simple method to adjust model life tables to estimate mortality curves with excess mortality and their backward projections. It enables the estimation of the decrease in life expectancy due to external causes. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...

What did you do during the genocide in Gaza? | Arwa Mahdawi When future generations read about Gaza with horror and wonder how we allowed a livestreamed genocide to happen, what will you say?

¿Qué es lo que diré, lo qué diremos? ¿Cómo nos levantamos todos los días pretendiendo que no pasa nada?
