• How Long Will We Live (2006, neutral): “Olshansky and Carnes (2001) and Olshansky et al. 2005 criticize projections that assume such a linear trend.”
• Still a time to act: A review of institutional marketing of regionally-grown food (2008, background): “For the first time in two centuries, the current generation of children in the U.S. is predicted to have shorter life expectancies than their parents due to food-related disease (Olshansky et al., 2005).”
• Leisure Time Physical Activity of Moderate to Vigorous Intensity and Mortality: A Large Pooled Cohort Analysis (2012, background): “Such declines in activity levels could potentially reduce population life expectancy [3–5], but this is difficult to quantify because the degree to which the full range of physical activity in different populations is associated with life expectancy remains unclear.”
