The probability of dying in the highest ages based on an smoothing model. 1970 was the smoothing of probabilities of dying for 85 years and older based on the Wittsteins formula. 1971 and 1972 was the smoothing of probabilities of dying for 86 years and older based on the Wittsteins formula. Between 1973 and 1986 was the smoothing of probabilities of dying for 91 years and older based on the Wittsteins formula. Between 1987 and 2005 were the probability of dying for ages 91 years and older based on a smoothing method that were developed at Statistics Sweden. In 2012, a review of the smoothing model, which resulted in a small model adjustment and that the smoothing takes place from 95 years of age. In connection with the revision in 2012 were the life tables revised for the years 2006-2011. The life tables for the years 1970 - 2001 are based on the scanned materials from publications. The scanned material is examined, but it is possible that some figures have been misinterpreted in the process. For year 1982–1997 The mean population for 100 years refer to all who were 100 years or older. From the reference year 2025 onwards, a small controlled random uncertainty is introduced in reported data (mean population, number of death, number of deaths after the birthday). The uncertainty has been added to protect individuals so that no one risks being exposed in the statistics. As a result, the reported totals are not always equal to the sum of their reported components.

If reported statistical values are added together to create a new total, the uncertainty is also added. There is therefore a risk that the new total contains greater uncertainty than that which – under the method – would have been added to a single value.

The method used for disclosure control is called Cell Key Method (CKM). You can read more about the method here: [Protection methods for disclosure control](https://www.scb.se/en/documentation/statististical-methods/protection-methods-for-disclosure-control/) and here: [Development of disclosure protection](https://www.scb.se/en/documentation/statistical-areas-under-change/development-of-disclosure-protection/).
In 2012, was the method to smooth the probabilities of death for the oldest old changed. In connection with this were previously published life tables for 2006 - 2011 revised.
