How can the progress being made in reducing the force of mortality be interpreted in terms of lifesaving? How many times can a person expect to have his or her life saved as a result of this progress? We develop a model to answer these questions and illustrate the results by using mortality rates for the United States in 1900 and 1980 and as projected for 2050. publisher: Springer-Verlag date: 1987-02 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Vaupel, J. & Yashin, A.
