Longitudinal analysis of excess mortality of men in the adolescence and early adulthood of the Czech Republic
Kratochvílová, Eva ; Mazouch, Petr (advisor)
The excess mortality of young men is discussed in many disciplines. However, the determinants of its occurrence are not yet fully apparent. This work is therefore focused on the detailed analysis of the male mortality rates in adolescence and early adulthood (15-30 years of age) in the Czech Republic, for cohorts born in 1935-1990. The development of mortality is also expressed by the aggregate indicator of the temporary median life span and its decomposition through the Pressat decomposition method of life expectancy. Furthermore, the difference in male and female mortality is compared. Based on an analysis of the selected longitudinal data, the validity of endogenous and exogenous hypotheses on the development of male mortality at the young age is tested.
