New paper on how to calculate a multistate death distribution! What's that, you ask? Usually, we plot a death distribution by age at death. But age at death is the sum of our time spent in different states. If we split time between being healthy or not, then the distribution is multistate (1/3)
a multistate death distribution. This plot has healthy years in x, unhealthy years in y, and x+y (descending diagonals) is age at death. We display the death distribution as filled contours. The health measure in question is ADLs, which has a high mortality penalty, so the distribution mostly hugs the lower axis. state expectancies and total life expectancy converge on a point. SHARE data, females, ADL, 2015-17.
