Abstract
Methods: Life expectancy was estimated from the mortality analysis and by constructing life tables of the population affiliated to the Mexican Institute of Social Security. Chiang’s method was used and the disability prevalence-adjusted life table was modified using Sullivan’s method. The healthy life expectancy, life expectancy free of disability and life expectancy with disability in the older adult analysis was highlighted.
Results: Life expectancy free of disability was estimated at 66.5 years. In females, it was 16 years and, in men, 15.2 years, indicating that from this age on they live less time with a healthy life.
Conclusions: Healthy life expectancy is an indicator that can be useful to build scenarios to support the planning, administration and strategic management of healthy aging programs.
