Wilson, D.M., Cohen, J., Birch, S., MacLeod, R., Mohankumar, D., Armstrong, P., Froggatt, K., Francke, A.L., Low, G., McCormack, B., Hollis, V., Williams, A. "No one dies of old age": implications for research, practice, and policy. Journal of Palliative Care: 2011, 27(2), p. 148-156.
The three research questions in this publication are:
1) What mortality-age changes occurred from 1950 to 2005?
2) What age-structure proportional changes involving older decedents occurred?
3) What were the primary causes of death for the oldest-old, and did these causes change over the years?
