Decomposing Gaps in Healthy Life Expectancy case of healthy life expectancy, which is decomposable using the step-wise and continuous change decomposition methods. We describe both methods in detail. Finally, using the R-package DemoDecomp, we demonstrate how to decompose gaps in prevalence-based healthy life expectancy, using either of these two decomposition methods.

Data Sources for Health Expectancy Researching. A variety of types of data sources, including surveys, censuses and administrative data are covered. The focus is on data sources that can be used for cross-national comparisons and/or analyses of trends over time and for which data are publicly available.

Assessing the Impact of Risk Factors on Health Expectancyations with diseases and mortality are known and, given data availability, the impact of such factors on health expectancy can be quantified. This chapter discusses the data requirements and methods to quantify the impact of risk factors on health expectancy and reviews the studies and their findings that have done so.

Self-Rated Health: When and How to Use It in Studies Among Older People? of including SRH in studies as a measure of health thus depends on the specific aims and design of the study. This chapter discusses the discrepancies between health status and SRH in different study designs of older people, and proposes practical recommendations for using SRH in future studies on ageing.
