*Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe

Health expectanciesbased on SHARE* data

For 9 European Union countries in 2004

Computing life and health expectancies

• Demographic data

population data for 2004 and 2005 birth data for 2004 death data for 2004

Missing data :- population 2005 for Greece and Italy- deaths 2004 for Spain, France and Italy

Linear regression on the maximum raw data available

• Population living in institution

The assumption has been made that the prevalence of health states outside and within institutions does not differ (Sullivan method).

Combining life and health data

• SHARE data

SHARE 2004 represents the non-institutionalized population aged 50 and older

11 countries have contributed micro data to the 2004 SHARE baseline study (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland) ≈ 23 000 participants

SHARE sample

Total number of participants and response rates for the SHARE survey, per country, sex and age group, 2004

Data and Methods

• SHARE data

SHARE 2004 represents the non-institutionalized population aged 50 and older

11 countries have contributed micro data to the 2004 SHARE baseline study (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland) N ≈ 23 000 participants

o Switzerland is not yet included in EHEMU

o Belgium data will only be available in autumn 2006

o We suppressed people with unknown sex or age

o We kept only people aged 50 or above

Results for 9 countries

N ≈ 21 000 participants

SHARE sample used

Number of participants aged 50 and above used in the SHARE survey for calculation of health

Health expectancies from SHAREComputation of health expectancies according to various health concepts:

1 Life expectancy and subjective self-rated heath

2 Life expectancy and morbidity

3 Life expectancy and functional health

1.1 Life expectancy in perceived health (European version)

2.1 Life expectancy without symptoms2.2 Life expectancy without morbidity

3.1 Life expectancy without physical functional limitation3.2 Life expectancy without activity limitation (HLY)

3.3 Life Expectancy without instrumental activity restrictions (IADL)3.4 Life Expectancy without self care activity restrictions (ADL)

we will present the 3 Health Expectancies

1.1 Life expectancy in perceived health (European version)

2.2 Life expectancy without morbidity

3.2 Life expectancy without activity limitation (HLY)

corresponding to the 3 main health dimensions covered by the Minimum European Health Module (MEHM)

Would you say your health is …

1. Very good

2. Good

3. Fair

4. Bad

5. Very bad

Similar 4 step profile for all countries For women:

For men: 2 profiles

- for 3 south countries (Greece, Italy, Spain) :Same 4 step gradation

- for the rest : 2 step profile

A more in depth analysis will be performed during the next year of the EHEMU project

Thank you!
