Abstract | Although life expectancy in China is increasing, what proportions of
life spend in a good health is unknown. This study aims to calculate
different types of age-specific health expectancies for Chinese older adults
who aged 50 and older by sex in 2011. Combining the information of
life table from World Health Organization and 2011 baseline survey of
China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, we calculated health
expectancies in terms of self-reported health, chronic disease, ADL, and
disability using Sullivan’s method. We found that men and women have
similar health expectancies for self-reported health and chronic disease.
Women have longer health expectancies in terms of ADL and disability.
However, women’s proportions of life spend with good health are
generally lower than men. This study calls for a thorough investigation
of the trend of China’s HLE for older adults so that health-care cost and
pension provision schemes can be adjusted accordingly |
