摘要

Policymakers increasingly use disability indicators to measure population health. One useful indicator of population health is called health expectancy. To estimate health expectancy, researchers partition total life expectancy into two parts. One part is healthy life expectancy, also often referred to as active life expectancy or disability-free life expectancy. This is a measure of the years an individual can expect to live free of serious disability. The second part measures the years a person can expect to live with disability, also commonly referred to as inactive life expectancy or disabled life expectancy. No prior research has investigated differences in disability-free and disabled life expectancy associated with rural or urban residence. This project addresses this gap. This project identifies differences in healthy life expectancy that may signal important policy needs.
