Healthy Life Years (HLY) at age 65 in the European Union using the SILC 2005 The EHEMU Team www.ehemu.eu
Data and Methods • Life tables 2005 (provisional) • Age specific prevalence of activity limitation from Eurostat (weighted) • Estimation of HLY and 95% CI, using Sullivan method • Difference between EHEMU and Eurostat values • At age 65 max absolute difference 0.59 yrs men and 0.35 yrs women
Prevalence of severe activity limitation for men by age Denmark missing
Prevalence of severe activity limitation for women by age Denmark missing
LE at age 65 men and women Women range = 4.3 years Correlation = 0.85 Men range 4.9 years
LE and HLY at age 65 men HLY range = 9.7 years Correlation = 0.67 LE range 4.9 years
LE and HLY at age 65 women HLY range = 10.6 years Correlation = 0.47 LE range 4.3 years
HLY % at age 65 men and women Women range = 74% - 19% Correlation = 0.97 Men range 81% - 26%
Moderate and severe AL years at age 65 men Correlation = -0.11 Moderate range 2.6-8.6 Severe range = 0-5.3
Moderate and severe AL years at age 65 women Correlation = -0.38 Moderate range 3.2-12.9 Severe range = 0-7.9
Conclusions • Prevalence data from SILC 2005: • In general coherent apart from activity limitation in Denmark • Life expectancy: • Variations in LE at age 65 of 4.9 years for men and 4.3 for women • 3) HLY and HLY% at age 65 • Greater variation than in LE – 9.7 years for men and 10.6 for women • HLY% varies by 55% in men and women • Countries with high years in moderate AL are not necessarily high in severe AL • 4) Gender differences at age 65 • High correlation between LE, HLY and HLY% at age 65 between men and women
Next steps • Sensitivity checks • Life expectancy assumptions • Institutionalised population
