This book describes a concerted, international research effort undertaken with the goal of establishing a database that allows the best possible description of the mortality trajectory beyond the age of 110. The International Database on Longevity (IDL) is the result of this ongoing effort. The IDL contains exhaustive information on validated cases of supercentenarians (people 110 years and older) and allows unbiased estimates of mortality after age 110. The main finding is remarkable: human mortality after age 110 is flat at a probability of death of 50% per year. The sixteen chapters of this book discuss age validation of exceptional longevity, data on supercentenarians in a series of countries, structure and contents of the IDL, and statistical analysis of human mortality after age 110. Several chapters include short accounts of specific supercentenarians that add life to demographic research. 410 0$aDemographic Research Monographs, A Series of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research,$x1613-5520 606 $aDemography 606 $aAging 606 $aPopulation 606 $aStatistics  606 $aHuman geography 606 $aDemography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X25000 606 $aAging$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X11000 606 $aPopulation Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W38000 606 $aStatistics for Life Sciences, Medicine, Health Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17030 606 $aHuman Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000 615 0$aDemography. 615 0$aAging. 615 0$aPopulation. 615 0$aStatistics . 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 14$aDemography. 615 24$aAging. 615 24$aPopulation Economics. 615 24$aStatistics for Life Sciences, Medicine, Health Sciences. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 676 $a304.64 702 $aMaier$b Heiner$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGampe$b Jutta$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aJeune$b Bernard$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aVaupel$b James W$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRobine$b Jean-Marie$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996320701703316 996 $aSupercentenarians$92860721 997 $aUNISA
