Dear Colleague, The Southampton Statistical Sciences Research Institute (S3RI) is pleased to announce a on the demography of adult morbidity and mortality to be presented by Professor Rick Rogers Professor of Sociology, University of Colorado at Boulder, USA. Course title: Demography of Adult Morbidity and Mortality Dates: Wednesday April 18 - Friday April 20, 2007 Location: University of Southampton, UK Rogers is well-known for his work on social demography, aging, and the sociology of health. Most of his research examines the effects of social, demographic, economic, health, and behavioural factors on individuals' health, disability, and mortality. The course will tackle such crucial questions as: Are health disparities widening over time and place? Are individuals really living longer and in better health? How does socioeconomic status operate to improve health and reduce mortality? Will life expectancies in more developed countries continue to increase over time and, if so, by how much?
