Summary: Must Have for Estimating Life Expectancy Reductions!
Review: 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.
