🤩 here's an exceptionally curious (brilliant?) way of showing disparities that are observed today. Yet, with a caveat that the countries lagging behind will likely cover much of the path much faster. I wonder how critical this limitation is for the most likely reading of the figure? #demography

During summer vacation I started running every day, and so far (to my lasting surprise) I keep it going (or maybe even running). Every day, usually except Mondays and Fridays when I commute to Copenhagen. And I already notice positive changes in muscle tone and general energy 🫶

Thank you! It's very likely that I had exactly this paper in mind. Somehow, I was under the impression that it was very fresh (2024/25), maybe this is just memory's aberration
btw do you know of academic papers that critically examine this #bibliometrics exercise? (I vividly remember coming across a very convincing vivisection of this paper/dataset and the harms it casts on scientific community)
The recently updated list of so called top-2% researchers was downloaded more than 1 million times! Issuing badges is a real shortcut to success in the over-gamified academia 🙃

Every time I see such a stadium I get a fleeting *baseless* shock 🙃 But I wonder if baseball stadiums are actually better fit for musical concerts? 🫣
Finally, Elsevier showcases a snippet of the context in which this "article" was cited in another academic paper. I dare you find the relevance. And the 2nd and 3rd citations are also likely misattributed. Of course, this isn't the fault of the author of our paper in question, but the journal... 4/4
Yes, this trivia is considered an article in an academic journal
The take on importance of cover letters is a least discussionable, I met several editors who told me they assign zero weight to this marketing exercise 3/4

"(Google my name for details.)" in the abstract -- what an immensely powerful academic imperative to make you read on, naive #AcademicSky fellow 🙃 2/4
Even without considering outright fraud and paper mills, #ScientificPublishing can often be bewildering. Here is a generic set of publishing advice ranging, from trivia to opinionated, published as a research article. And yes, this weirdly named journal is actually Q1 in Scopus in 4 subjects 1/4

[Paper alert] Mortality decreases for highest socioeconomic groups in Denmark 🇩🇰 while stagnating for lowest ones | Survival to retirement | Danish registry | @cosmostrozza.bsky.social in @genus.bsky.social with @svigezzi.bsky.social @juliacalla.bsky.social @sandrsalek.bsky.social @ikashnitsky.phd
Socioeconomic inequalities in survival to retirement age in Denmark: a register-based analysis - Genus
Around the world, people are increasingly living to older ages. This challenges the sustainability of the pension systems. In Denmark, statutory retirement age increases gradually to account for changes in life expectancy. However, the chances of reaching retirement age are not equal across the Danish population, and raising the retirement age could disproportionally impact those of lower socioeconomic status. In this study, we investigated socioeconomic inequalities in mortality before reaching retirement age in Denmark and how a higher retirement age would affect survival to retirement across socioeconomic groups. We used Danish registry data over a 30-year period, focusing on 19 consecutive birth cohorts: 1936–1954. We assessed the probability of dying between age 50 and retirement age, set at 65 and 67, across socioeconomic groups using three dimensions of socioeconomic status: education, occupation, and income. We found that the gap in survival has widened over time between the lowest and highest socioeconomic groups for each indicator, driven mostly by limited or stagnant improvements in the lowest socioeconomic groups. Our findings show that raising the retirement age from 65 to 67 disproportionately affects individuals from lower socioeconomic groups, especially men, in absolute terms. Pension reforms that link retirement age to life expectancy are sharpening inequalities, as lower-SES groups are not only facing higher early mortality, but also experience much slower improvements in mortality.
