In noninteracting populations, subgroup differences in death rates can alter average population mortality over time. However, in interacting populations, these selection effects become unpredictable, impacting commonly used rates.

Area of Science:

  • Demography
  • Population Studies
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Heterogeneity in death rates within a population can lead to changes in average mortality over time.
  • This phenomenon is well-understood for nonrecurrent events in noninteracting populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore selection effects of heterogeneity in multistate populations.
  • To illuminate consequences for commonly used rates in interacting populations.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of selection effects in multistate population models.
  • Examination of recurrent events and population interactions.

Main Results:

  • In noninteracting populations, average death rates decline as lower-mortality subgroups become more prevalent.

  • In multistate (interacting) populations, selection effects from heterogeneity lead to unpredictable consequences for average measures.

    • Conclusions:

    • Standard conclusions about declining average death rates due to selection do not apply to interacting populations.
    • The study highlights the complexity of interpreting population rates when considering recurrent events and population dynamics.
