Myers, George C.; Manton, Kenneth G.

Gerontologist, v24 n6 p572-75 Dec 1984

Responds to discussion (Fries, 1984) of an earlier article (Myers and Manton, 1984) presenting empirical evidence on changes in the distribution of ages at death. Further analysis of the data is presented, including life expectancy changes from 1950-1978 and comparison of data for men and women from several countries. (JAC)
