Abstract: This paper develops a comparative analysis of results provided by the "human actuarial senescence" and by those of the demographic approach in relation to mortality in old age. In particular we will examine a case which has previously been recorded, but not with regards to Italy. It deals in particular with the cohorts born between 1889 and 1900; the men involved therefore, took part directly in the first world war whilst the women experienced the harsh conditions of life during those years.
