Abstract
Following a discussion of the conventional approaches used to analyze differentials in adult mortality the authors pose a series of questions aimed at encouraging research on differential mortally along new causally pertinent directions. These include the modeling of differential mortality in a proximate determinants perspective the incorporation of time into differential mortality models the inclusion of more refined outcome measures and the use of a macro-level perspective to better understand mortality differentials. Examples of recent [U.S.] studies expanding in these directions are briefly described. This paper was originally presented at the 1996 Annual Meeting of the Population Association of America.
