Declining old‐age mortality has motivated research on the interplay between mortality, chronic disease morbidity, and disability. Do declining mortality rates signal declining morbidity and disability rates? Are the substantial gains in life expectancy accompanied by an increase in the expected years in good health, i.e., healthy life expectancy? Investigations of healthy life expectancy are important for anticipating an aging population's demands on health care and evaluating the effects of interventions and policy changes on both the length and quality of life
