Their estimates for females, however, differ appreciably from some published estimates. This article presents a modified version of the Preston, Glei, and Wilmoth method that includes an age-period interaction term in its model. This modified version produces improved estimates of smoking-attributable mortality that are consistent with results from a modified version of the Peto-Lopez indirect method.}, URL = {https://www.demographic-research.org/volumes/vol23/14/}, eprint = {https://www.demographic-research.org/volumes/vol23/14/23-14.pdf} }
