Abstract
Despite a strong predicted effect of demographic change on varicella incidence, our findings suggest that improved survival is the main contributor to any rise in HZ rates prior to vaccination in Australia. Removing survival effects through age-standardization is recommended when considering epidemiologic or model-based analysis of past trends in HZ.
