    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Gerontology
    • Public Health

    Context:

    • Analysis of mortality and disability trends in Taiwan.
    • Utilizes data from 1986 to 1989.
    • Focuses on the interplay between aging, health, and mortality.

    Purpose:

    • To apply the multiple-decrement life table method to analyze mortality and self-reported disability.
    • To investigate the compression of morbidity hypothesis.
    • To examine sex differentials in disability patterns.

    Summary:

    • Mortality and disability curves in Taiwan (1986-1989) aligned with the compression hypothesis, indicating a shrinking gap between them.
    • Women experience less disability at younger ages but face higher risks and longer durations of disability in old age compared to men.
