人类生存曲线矩形化的概念在讨论美国人口，特别是老年人的预期寿命和生存变化的过去和未来过程中受到了相当大的关注。令人惊讶的是，很少有关于矩形化的实证研究。在这篇文章中，我们研究了这个问题的几个方面，因为它们涉及到预期寿命的变化，生存，并在死亡年龄的压缩duringthe二十世纪，特别是在1962-1979年期间。这些研究提供了证据表明矩形化对老年人的人口或死亡率动态几乎没有影响。
The concept of the rectangularization of the human survival curve has received considerable attention in discussions of the past and future course of life expectancy and survival changesfor the United States population, especially at later ages. Surprisingly, few empirical studies of rectangularization have been made. In this article, we examine several aspects of this issue as they relate to changes in life expectancy, survival, and compression of ages at death duringthe twentieth century and specifically during the period 1962-1979. These studies provid evidence that rectangularization has had little impact on the population or mortality dynamicsof the elderly.
