Abstract
Recent evidence from the UK on Healthy Life Expectancy from cross sectional
surveys has further confirmed an expansion of morbidity at mild levels of
chronic ill-health, but a contraction of severe levels of disability free
life expectancy. A comparison has been undertaken between estimates of
healthy life expecancy and quality adjusted life years.
Concern the future demand for long term care is as great in the UK as
elsewhere, though a recent government enquiry has concluded that this
concern may be exagerated. However, monitoring trends in healthy life
expectancy among elderly people more accurately is now regarded as a
priority. A national longitudinal survey of the health of elderly people is
being proposed, and a first pilot will be run this autumn to examine
methodological issues.
