Extraordinary Longevity in the Soviet Union: Fact or Artifact?
Bennett, Neil G.; Garson, Lea Keil
Gerontologist, v26 n4 p358-61 Aug 1986
Describes an analysis of Soviet mortality and census data from 1959 and 1970, which provides significant evidence effectively negating previous claims of extraordinary Soviet longevity. Strongly suggests that the true number of centenarians is but a small fraction of that reported. (Author/ABB)
