Abstract

The Oeppen-Vauepel study that showed that the highest life expectancy observed in a given year increased linearly from 1840 to 2000 is expanded from the year 1750-2005 with new data. The original straight line should be divided into several segments characterized by different slopes where each segment corresponds to a major advance in the health transition.
