Mortality and Morbidity Trends: Is There Compression of Morbidity?
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: This paper reviews trends in mortality and morbidity to evaluate whether there has been a compression of morbidity. METHODS: Review of recent research and analysis of recent data for the United States relating mortality change to the length of life without 1 of 4 major diseases or loss of mobility functioning. RESULTS: Mortality declines have slowed down in the United States in recent years, especially for women. The prevalence of disease has increased. Age-specific prevalence of a number of risk factors representing physiological status has stayed relatively constant; where risks decline, increased usage of effective drugs is responsible. Mobility functioning has deteriorated. Length of life with disease and mobility functioning loss has increased between 1998 and 2008. DISCUSSION: Empirical findings do not support recent compression of morbidity when morbidity is defined as major disease and mobility functioning loss.

TL;DR
This review and empirical analysis finds that recent U.S. mortality declines have slowed, disease prevalence has increased, and mobility functioning has deteriorated, so life with disease and functioning loss has expanded. The authors conclude that empirical findings do not support compression of morbidity when morbidity is defined as major disease and mobility functioning loss.
Key findings
- Mortality declines slowed in the United States, especially for women; U.S. life expectancy in 2006 was 78 years at birth and 18 years at age 65, compared with Japan’s 83 and 21 years.
- Disease prevalence increased: older men and women showed increased cancer prevalence, diabetes increased across much of the adult age range, and CVD conditions increased among older males.
- Mobility functioning loss increased across ages; for example, among those aged 80+, mobility disability rose from 27.68% to 41.74% for men and from 42.84% to 51.26% for women between 1998 and 2006.
- Life expectancy with disease and with mobility functioning loss increased between 1998 and 2006: at age 20, years with at least one disease rose from 10.0 to 12.3 for men and 11.1 to 13.0 for women; years unable to function rose from 3.8 to 5.8 for men and 7.3 to 9.8 for women.
Methods
- The paper reviews recent research on mortality and morbidity trends and analyzes recent U.S. data linking mortality change to length of life without one of four major diseases or loss of mobility functioning.
- Empirical analysis uses National Health Interview Survey data for the noninstitutionalized U.S. population aged 20 and older in 1998 and 2006, with self-reported coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, cancer, and diabetes, plus an indicator of mobility functioning loss based on inability to perform at least one of four tasks.
- Official U.S. life tables for 1998 and 2006 are combined with prevalence data using the Sullivan approach to healthy life expectancy.
Limitations
- The authors state that empirical results could overstate recent increases in disease because it is impossible to hold constant greater awareness of health problems and improved diagnosis and screening.
- The authors note they did not consider depression and mental illness, which cause much disability and functioning loss, and they examined high-level functioning rather than severe disability.
- The text makes evident that the empirical analysis relies on cross-sectional prevalence and life-table methods, so it cannot directly distinguish incidence from longer survival with disease; the abstract refers to 1998–2008 while the empirical tables use 1998 and 2006.

“The Framingham Heart Study also shows that when methods of diagnosis are taken into account incidence rates for a first MI remained relatively stable between 1960–1969 and 1990–1999 (Parikh et al., 2009); however, trends differ by gender.”

The Discussion (Temporal Trends in AMI; page unavailable) says that ECG-diagnosed first MI—a measure not influenced by increasingly sensitive biomarkers—declined by about 50% from 1960 to 1999, rather than remaining stable. It also says overall incidence appeared to decrease particularly in men, while rates in women were steady to decreased. The paper treats stable rates as a feature of some earlier estimates, not its finding after accounting for diagnostic methods. (LLM, conf=0.86)

Section 5.1.1 reports a 6.26-year increase in U.S. life expectancy at birth from 1970 to 2000 and says heart disease contributed the majority of the gain for most race–sex groups. Section 5.2 attributes 2.87 years to declines in heart disease. The passages support a major contribution from declining cardiovascular mortality, but do not establish the claimed approximately 60% share for CVD overall. (LLM, conf=0.82)

The authors state this as an assumption.
Increasing prevalence and incidence of diabetes is related to the growing problem of obesity.
“Increasing prevalence and incidence of diabetes is assumed to be related to the growing problem of obesity, and it is projected to continue to increase (Honeycutt et al., 2003).”
The paper relies on this without support.
Self-reports of diagnosed disease in the National Health Interview Survey validly measure trends in disease prevalence.
“Self-reports of whether a person has been diagnosed with coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, cancer, and diabetes are contained in the National Health Interview Survey.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
Each generation will be healthier and longer lived than the prior one.
“We have always assumed that each generation will be healthier and longer lived than the prior one.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
