Life-styles and death-styles:  differentials and consequences of mortality trends.
Differentials in mortality in developed countries are examined according to region, sex, age, cause of death, and social class.  "Various simulations [using the Odyssey model developed at the Catholic University of Louvain] are presented in order to study the impact of decreasing mortality and mortality differentials on the structure of deaths by cause, and on various economic variables.... The consequences [for] the social security system, among others, are stressed."  (summary in FRE, ITA)
