National Health Objectives for the Year 2000: The Demographic Impact of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention.
Stoto, Michael A.; Durch, Jane S.
American Journal of Public Health, v81 n11 p1456-64 Nov 1991
Demographic impacts of meeting the National Health Objectives for 2000 were studied using life-table methods. Meeting the targets would increase life expectancy at birth by 1.5-2.1 years to 76.6-77.2 years. Modifying the coronary heart disease and unintentional injury targets to be more optimistic would further increase life expectancy. (SLD)
