The mixing parameters $Δm_{d,s}$ represent important constraints in the unitarity triangle analysis. Their theoretical estimates require non-perturbative calculations of B-meson decay constants and B-parameters; accurate results, recently obtained from the lattice, are reviewed. Other phenomenologically interesting quantities are the beauty hadron lifetime ratios and, the width differences and CP-violation parameters in $B_d$ and $B_s$ systems. We discuss their theoretical predictions which, in the last four years, have been improved thanks to accurate lattice calculations and next-to-leading order perturbative computations.5 pages, 1 table, 3 figures, talk given at Beauty 2005 (Assisi, June 20-24, 2005)High Energy Physics - PhenomenologyHigh Energy Physics - LatticeB-Meson Mixing and Lifetimestext
