| Abstract | The system of full mobilisation and the modest effects of the World War II events on the civil population make Finland a highly useful case for exploring whether war veterans have elevated long-term mortality risks. Using data from the Human Mortality Database and a register-based micro sample with main causes of death, we study men in the cohorts who participated in the wars against the Soviet Union in 1939–1944. For these war cohorts, we find no indications of reduced survival after the early 1950s, as compared with male cohorts without combat experience. The absence of a long-term effect might be an artefact of mortality selection. In the first few years after war-end, death rates remained relatively high because of infectious diseases that killed off the weakest of the survivors. The results are in line with a series of other studies and illustrate that in the potential presence of cohort inversion there are no visible long-term effects of war experience on later-life survival.Le système de mobilisation générale et les effets modestes de la Seconde Guerre mondiale sur la population civile font de la Finlande un cas extrêmement intéressant pour étudier si les vétérans de guerre ont des risques élevés de mortalité à long terme. A partir des données de la Human Mortality Database (base de données sur la longévité humaine) et d’un micro-échantillon tiré du registre pour lequel les causes de décès sont connues, la survie des hommes appartenant aux cohortes ayant participé aux guerres contre l’Union Soviétique de 1939 à 1944 est étudiée. Après le début des années’50, on ne trouve aucune indication d’une survie plus courte pour ces cohortes ayant connu la guerre, par rapport aux cohortes masculines n’ayant pas d’expérience de combat. L’absence d’effets à long-terme pourrait être un effet de sélection du fait de la mortalité. Dans les toutes premières années après la fin de la guerre, les taux de mortalité sont restés relativement élevés à cause des maladies infectieuses qui ont tué les survivants les plus faibles. Ces résultats concordent avec ceux d’une série d’autres études, et illustrent le fait qu’en cas d’effet de sélection éliminant les plus faibles, l’expérience de la guerre n’a pas d’effets visibles à long-terme sur la survie aux âges plus élevés. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
