Add to ORKGThe aims of this study are to estimate the rate of ageing for individuals, and to analyse changes in the shape of the age distribution of death. Adult and old-age mortality data for Sweden and Japan, in the second half of the 20th century, are analysed taking into account the selection effects and following a semi-parametric approach, by smoothing mortality trajectories for individuals with penalized B-splines
