New paper published with colleagues from Australian National University. Men in Australia with lower levels of education are dying years earlier than women, and cardiovascular disease, cancer, accidents and suicide are driving the gap. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

If female reproductive cancers (breast and gynecological cancers combined) were to be eliminated, the overall female survival advantage would increase by approximately 0.77 years on average, with country-specific increases ranging up to nearly one year.
Thank you @bspsuk.bsky.social and @camunicampop.bsky.social. It was a fun week thinking about formal demography, meeting like-minded colleagues, hearing fun stories about demography, and jotting down cool things Robert said🤣, all in the beautiful Cambridge uni. All hail the rule of one!
Just want to give a shout out to my amazing coauthor Jenny from the National Centre for Epidemiology and
Population Health (nceph.anu.edu.au/people/dr-je...) and Vladimir from School of Demography, ANU (researchportalplus.anu.edu.au/en/persons/v...), who just won the James Vaupel Trailblazer Award!
Guy I’m sponsoring very quietly releases #rstats package I’ve been wanting for the last couple of years.

🎂Mar 21, 1768 Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier born in Auxerre, Bourgogne, France 🇫🇷
Fourier series, yeah, yeah but also:
In 1821 he developed cumulative frequency curves, showing inhabitants of Paris by age groupings
("Notions Generales, Sur La Population")
How does extreme heat shape who is born — and where?
New study by @jasminabdelghany.bsky.social out in @pnas.org today links high temperatures to changes in sex ratios at birth in sub-Saharan Africa and India. 🔬📊

Paper led by colleagues from Australian National University is out now in JAMANetworkOpen. We used novel mortality measure to quantify how female reproductive cancers affect female survival advantages over male across ages and cohorts among high-income countries. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam....

Using a novel mortality measure (Truncated Cross-sectional Average Length of Life), we show a pattern of elevated female cancer mortality in midlife that was consistent across birth cohorts.
Here are a couple of examples. Lung cancer survival rates for EGFR+ mutated Lung cancer.

This cohort study quantifies differences in survival over time between males and females and examines how female reproductive cancers are associated with these differences.
A study led by Dr Jasmin Abdel Ghany, and including several LCDS associated researchers, provides new evidence that rising temperatures can influence the sex ratio at birth, with important implication...

Thanks @camunicampop.bsky.social and @bspsuk.bsky.social for sponsoring the Informal Introduction to Formal Demography workshop! It was a great week!
