Life expectancy does not necessarily match quality of life (QOL). A cohort study involving a population of 10,107 in a certain city of Japan was conducted to evaluate active life expectancy (ALE), which has a direct relationship with QOL. The ALE that took functional recovery rates into account was 17.20 and 19.08 years for males and females respectively, at the age of 65. These values increased by 2.98 and 3.87 years for men and women, respectively, compared with when functional recovery rates were not considered. ALE may serve as an indicator for the objective evaluation of various public health services provided by local governments.
预期寿命不一定与生活质量(QOL)相匹配。在日本某城市的一项涉及 10107 人的队列研究中,评估了与生活质量直接相关的活跃预期寿命(ALE)。考虑到功能恢复率的 ALE 分别为 65 岁男性和女性的 17.20 年和 19.08 年。与不考虑功能恢复率相比,男性和女性的 ALE 分别增加了 2.98 年和 3.87 年。ALE 可作为对地方政府提供的各种公共卫生服务进行客观评估的指标。
