Must Have for Estimating Life Expectancy Reductions!Primarily useful for anyone who needs to estimate life expectancy reductions due to various diseases or chronic health impairments - insurance underwriters, actuaries, epidemiologists, or medical researchers will find this invaluable. There are excellent introductory notes on the methods and arithmetic of population tables and life expectancy calculations. In two volumes, this provides consistent tables and extracts from hundreds of medical studies - ranging from general studies of obesity and the effects of smoking, down to specific studies of various heart valve replacements. I only wish this were still in print.

Not a light readCertainly not light reading! This book gives a lot of the mathematical background for actuarial tables. The chapters discuss various conditional probabilities in the developed world for life expectancy, given this precondition or that precondition.
In some ways, the book is greatly unattainable. That is, if you live in subSaharan Africa or northern India or central China, where disease and malnutrition are still common. Plus the spectre of Aids/HIV, which has already had measurable lowering of the average life expectancy in several African countries. Those regions can only hope for the relevance of the book.
Reasonably advanced knowledge of statistics is needed to get the most out of the book.
