To analyse the inequalities in life expectancy in the Spanish population over the age of 65 according to educational level.
Cross sectional study on the Spanish population aged 65 years and over. Life expectancy and healthy life expectancy were calculated combining mortality, health and population data.
People aged 65 and over with a lower educational level had shorter lives, with fewer years of good health and more years of poor health. Women lived longer, but with proportionally more years of poor health.
Social inequalities in health must be considered in the current debate on delaying the age of retirement.
根据教育水平分析65岁以上西班牙人群的预期寿命不平等情况。
对65岁及以上的西班牙人群进行横断面研究。结合死亡率、健康状况和人口数据计算预期寿命和健康预期寿命。
教育水平较低的65岁及以上人群寿命较短,健康状况良好的年份较少,健康状况不佳的年份较多。女性寿命更长,但健康状况不佳的年份比例更高。
在当前关于延迟退休年龄的辩论中,必须考虑健康方面的社会不平等问题。
