“…Leukemia in children continues to be a common cancer in the population of the Cauca Valley and the world [ 20 , 21 ]. In comparison with previous analyses of sociodemographic results of the situation observed in Latin America and in Colombia, mainly in the city of Santiago de Cali, it is observed that Leukemia in the Lymphoid variant is the first cause of death in children under 15 years of age and of predominance in the male population [ 18 ], due to conditions of social inequality, in which inter-institutional collaboration and specialized personnel are deficient [ 19 ].…”

“…However, the global picture is different, in terms of epidemiological surveillance, there is a shift towards non-communicable diseases, where cancer is the leading cause of death with an incidence of 18.1 million new cases of cancer in 2018 to 29.5 million new cases in 2040, adjusted to population growth [ 19 ].…”

“…China sets a goal of increasing the LE at birth to 79 years old by 2030, and one of Russia’s national development goals is to raise the LE to 80 years old by 2030. However, improving the LE remains a worldwide problem, as the LE growth has slowed in many countries in recent years [ 2 , 3 ].…”

Objectives: Taking the life expectancy (LE) of Non-Hispanic White (NHW) Americans as an example to provide potential references for improving LE globally.Methods: We collected complete data from the United States (US) CDC, Office for National Statistics in the United Kingdom (UK), and the OECD publications, and described LE changes of NHW Americans by cross-national comparison and Arriaga’s method.Results: LE of NHW Americans was not as optimistic as European countries from 2006 to 2018. The LE annual average growth rate was 0.04% for NHW Americans, 0.19% for the UK population, and the median of 25 countries was 0.24%. Compared with the other age groups, the age group 30–34 revealed an inferior impact on the LE of NHW people, of which accidents and intentional self-harm were likely to be the top two direct causes.Conclusion: Finding out the direct causes that affect the LE growth in different age groups is conducive to making a targeted intervention or solving the LE growth bottleneck.

“…Mackenbach ( 2013 ) touched on the issue in the context of the enlargements of the 1980s and 1990s, and found no signs of convergence between the six founding members and the accession countries following their entry into the EU. Santos and colleagues ( 2020 ) aimed to study the immediate impact of enlargements on the average EU health status, and found that the 2004, 2007, and 2013 enlargements resulted in a significant worsening of the EU’s average standardised mortality rate, life expectancy, and healthy life expectancy.…”

The Short-Term Effects of European Integration on Mortality Convergence: A Case Study of European Union’s 2004 Enlargement

et al. 2021

Although European integration can be expected to result in mortality convergence (reduced mortality differences), a life expectancy divide persists in the European Union (EU) between the old Member States (OMS) in the west and the new Member States (NMS) in the east. Studies investigating the impact of European integration on mortality convergence are rare and did not consider regional differences. We examine the short-term effects of the 2004 enlargement on mortality convergence at the supranational, national, and subnational levels. Using sex-specific life expectancies for 23 Member States (1990–2017) and the NUTS 2 regions in Czechia, Hungary, and Poland for 1992–2016, we examined the trend in sigma and beta mortality convergence measures at the country and regional levels using joinpoint regression. We found no compelling evidence that EU accession influenced the process of mortality convergence between OMS and NMS, or within the three NMS, over the short term. While there was overall beta and sigma convergence at the national level during 1990–2017, no regional convergence showed, and the trends in convergence did not significantly change at the time of EU accession or soon after (2004–2007). The accession in 2004 did not visibly impact the overall process of mortality convergence over the short term, likely because of the greater influence of country and region-specific policies and characteristics. The interaction of Member State and regional contexts with the mechanisms of European integration requires further study. Future enlargement procedures should emphasise tailored support to ensure more equitable gains from European integration.
