  • Special Report

    Open AccessPaolo Vineis, Mauricio Avendaño et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2020

    Funded by the European Commission Horizon2020 programme, the Lifepath research consortium aimed to understand the impacts of socioeconomic inequalities on the biology of healthy ageing. The main research questions included the impact of inequalities on health, the role of behavioural and other risk factors, the underlying biological mechanisms, the efficacy of selected policies, and the general implications of our findings for theories and polici…

  • Forecasting differences in life expectancy by education

    Open AccessPieter Van Baal, Frederik Peters et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies2016Cited by: 1References: 36

    Forecasts of life expectancy (LE) have fuelled debates about the sustainability and dependability of pension and healthcare systems. Of relevance to these debates are inequalities in LE by education. In this paper, we present a method of forecasting LE for different educational groups within a population. As a basic framework we use the Li-Lee model that was developed to forecast mortality coherently for different groups. We adapted this model to…

  • Comparison of socio-economic indicators explaining inequalities in Healthy Life Years at age 50 in Europe

    Open AccessTony Fouweather, Clare Gillies et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Public Health2015

    BACKGROUND: The first estimates of Healthy Life Years at age 50 (HLY50) across the EU25 countries in 2005 showed substantial variation in healthy ageing. We investigate whether factors contributing to HLY50 inequalities have changed between 2005 and 2010. METHODS: HLY50 for each country and year were calculated using Sullivan's method, applying the age-specific prevalence of activity limitation from the European Union Statistics on Income and Liv…

  • Inequalities in health expectancies at older ages in the European Union

    Carol Jagger, Claire Weston et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011Cited by: 8References: 21

    BACKGROUND: Life expectancy gaps between Eastern and Western Europe are well reported with even larger variations in healthy life years (HLY). AIMS: To compare European countries with respect to a wide range of health expectancies based on more specific measures that cover the disablement process in order to better understand previous inequalities. METHODS: Health expectancies at age 50 by gender and country using Sullivan's method were calculate…
