To estimate health expectancy in Denmark and evaluate changes during the period 1987-1994.
Life-table figures from vital statistics combined with prevalence data of population health status derived from the Danish Health Interview Surveys carried out in 1987, 1991, and 1994.
The Danish population aged 16 years and over.
Health expectancy calculated by Sullivan's method combining mortality and morbidity into a single indicator. This indicator estimates the average lifetime in good health. Relating health expectancy to life expectancy gives a measure of the proportion of lifetime in good health.
Although life expectancy has remained stable since the beginning of the 1980s health expectancy has changed slightly over the period 1987-1994, with a positive trend for men but a negative one for women.
The results underline the concern about the health of Danish women expressed in recent years. Health expectancy could be increased by successful prevention of musculo-skeletal diseases, which account for the highest proportion of lifetime with long-standing illness.
估算丹麦的健康期望寿命，并评估1987年至1994年期间的变化情况。
结合生命统计中的寿命表数据以及1987年、1991年和1994年丹麦健康访谈调查得出的人口健康状况患病率数据。
16岁及以上的丹麦人口。
采用沙利文方法计算健康期望寿命，该方法将死亡率和发病率合并为一个单一指标。此指标估算健康状态下的平均寿命。将健康期望寿命与预期寿命相关联，可衡量健康状态下寿命所占的比例。
自20世纪80年代初以来，预期寿命保持稳定，但在1987年至1994年期间，健康期望寿命略有变化，男性呈上升趋势，女性呈下降趋势。
这些结果凸显了近年来对丹麦女性健康状况的担忧。成功预防肌肉骨骼疾病可提高健康期望寿命，此类疾病在长期患病寿命中占比最高。
