Late-life mortality deceleration refers to the phenomenon where the rate of mortality slows down or decreases among older individuals as they approach the extremes of life, particularly in the context of aging populations. This concept suggests that as people reach advanced ages, their likelihood of dying may not increase as steadily as one might expect. In other words, rather than experiencing a constant increase in the risk of death as individuals age, there may be a leveling off or even a slight decrease in mortality rates among the oldest old.
