The evolving geography of US mortality. A state-level analysis of converging/diverging trends in the length of life

Résumé

The paper focuses on inter-state differences in longevity in the United States from 1959 to 2016, using data from the United States Mortality DataBase and the NCHS to better understand the historical context of recent increase in geographic inequalities. After describing trends in survival across states and changes in the magnitude of the gap between the two extremes of the distribution in terms of life expectancy at birth, the study focuses on the results of a cluster analysis in which states are grouped according to both their level of life expectancy at birth and their year-to-year changes in life expectancy over two consecutive time periods (1959-1984 and 1984-2016). Inter-cluster variations in mortality patterns are examined and differences in life expectancy at birth between each cluster and the US as a whole are decomposed by age groups and by causes of death.
