  1. Notes: Column 3: according to Preston et al. (2001); Column 4: using HLD tables of correspondence by Shkolnikov et al. (2007); Columns 5–8: using the adjustment by Horiuchi and Coale (1982) for growth rates equal to 0.5, 1, 2 and 5%, a uniform distribution of deaths after the censoring age (Column 9: to a maximal age of 100, Column 10: to a maximal age of 115, Column 11: to a maximal age of 120), and a ΓGM model (Column 12).
