[Brownbag] Reminder and Abstract: Demography Brown Bag Presentation, October 25, 2017: Steven Orzack

[Monique Verrier]

Dear Demography Brown Bag Community,

Please find below the abstract for this Wednesday's Demography Brown Bag 
Presentation on October 25, 2017.


Steven Orzack presents, "Human Health and Disease: Dynamics, Statics, and 
the Compression of Morbidity."

Important aspects of the biology of aging resist explanation by present 
concepts and approaches in demography, gerontology, and evolutionary 
biology. Using new approaches, I will present analyses of the relationship 
between cholesterol and mortality and of the relationship between age and 
morbidity. I will focus on the interplay between static and dynamic 
analyses and suggest that both are necessary for proper understanding of 
the biology of aging.
