This dataset contains healthy life expectancy and disability-free life expectancy by gender, from birth and age 65.

Health life expectancy is defined as the average number of years a person aged 'x' would live in good/fairly good health if he or she experiences the particular area's age-specific mortality and health rates throughout their life.

Disability-free life expectancy is defined as the average number of years a person aged 'x' would live disability-free (no limiting long-term illness) if he or she experienced the particular area's age-specific mortality and health rates throughout their life.

The estimates are calculated by combining age and sex specific mortality rates, with age and sex specific rates on general health and limiting long-term illness.

Life expectancy is a summary measure of the all-cause mortality rates in an area in a given period. It shows an estimate of the average number of years a newborn baby would survive if he or she experienced the age-specific mortality rates for that area and time period throughout his or her life. Figures reflect mortality among those living in an area in the given time period, not the life expectancy of newborn children. That is because both the mortality rates of the area are likely to change in the future, and because many of those born in the area will live elsewhere for at least some part of their lives. Life expectancy is a summary measure of a population's health. It may be influenced by premature mortalities and health inequalities. Data source: Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (ODHI), indicator 90366.

The life expectancy figure used is for females aged under 1 year. Figures are based on the number of deaths registered and mid-year population estimates, aggregated over three consecutive years.

Expectation of life at a given age for an area is the average number of years a person would live if he or she experienced that area's age-specific mortality rates for that time period throughout his or her life. It is therefore not the number of years someone of that age in the area could actually expect to live, both because the death rates of the area are likely to change in the future and because people may live in other areas for at least part of their lives.

Period life expectancy by age and sex for the UK. Each national life table is based on population estimates, births and deaths for a period of three consecutive years. Tables are published annually.

The average number of additional years a man or woman aged 75 can be expected to live if they continue to live in the same place and the death rates in their area remain the same for the rest of their life. Purpose To ensure that the NHS is held to account for doing all that it can to prevent avoidable deaths in older people. This indicator captures all persons aged 75 and over.

A short report comparing three measures of average life span: life expectancy at birth (mean age at death), median age at death and modal age at death. Source agency: Office for National Statistics Designation: National Statistics Language: English Alternative title: Mortality in England and Wales

This report presents the latest figures on male and female health expectancy, at birth and at age 65, for the UK and its four constituent countries. While life expectancy (LE) provides an estimate of average expected life-span, healthy life expectancy (HLE) divides total LE into years spent in good or ‘not good’ health. Disability-free life expectancy (DFLE) divides LE into years lived with and without a chronic illness or disability. These figures are three-year averages. LE is taken from the UK national interim life tables published annually by ONS, and the measures of health and chronic illness from the General Household Survey (GHS) in Great Britain and the Continuous Household Survey (CHS) in Northern Ireland.

This data shows premature deaths (Age under 75), numbers and rates by gender, as 3-year moving-averages. All-Cause Mortality rates are a summary indicator of population health status. All-cause mortality is related to Life Expectancy, and both may be influenced by health inequalities. Directly Age-Standardised Rates (DASR) are shown in the data (where numbers are sufficient) so that death rates can be directly compared between areas. The DASR calculation applies Age-specific rates to a Standard (European) population to cancel out possible effects on crude rates due to different age structures among populations, thus enabling direct comparisons of rates. A limitation on using mortalities as a proxy for prevalence of health conditions is that mortalities may give an incomplete view of health conditions in an area, as ill-health might not lead to premature death.

This dataset presents the average number of years a man aged 65 can expect to live in good health, known as healthy life expectancy (HLE). It is a key measure of quality of life in later years and reflects both longevity and the prevalence of good health among older men.

Rationale Increasing healthy life expectancy at age 65 for males is a major public health objective. It highlights the importance of not only living longer but also maintaining good health and independence in later life. This indicator supports the planning of health and social care services and helps assess the impact of health inequalities and lifestyle factors on aging populations.

Numerator The numerator is derived from the number of deaths registered in the respective calendar years and the weighted prevalence of individuals reporting good or very good health, as captured by the Annual Population Survey (APS). Data are provided by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Denominator The denominator is based on population estimates from the 2021 Census and the APS sample, weighted to reflect local authority population totals. These data are also provided by the ONS.

Caveats Healthy life expectancy figures exclude residents of communal establishments, except for NHS housing and students in halls of residence who are included based on their parents' address. This may affect comparability in areas with large institutional populations.

Localities ExplainedThis dataset contains data based on either the resident locality or registered locality of the patient, a distinction is made between resident locality and registered locality populations:Resident Locality refers to individuals who live within the defined geographic boundaries of the locality. These boundaries are aligned with official administrative areas such as wards and Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs).Registered Locality refers to individuals who are registered with GP practices that are assigned to a locality based on the Primary Care Network (PCN) they belong to. These assignments are approximate—PCNs are mapped to a locality based on the location of most of their GP surgeries. As a result, locality-registered patients may live outside the locality, sometimes even in different towns or cities.This distinction is important because some health indicators are only available at GP practice level, without information on where patients actually reside. In such cases, data is attributed to the locality based on GP registration, not residential address.

Directly Age Standardised Mortality Rates (DASR) per 100,000. Age standardised rates compensate for differing age structures by weighting them to meet the European Standard Population (2013). Rates can then be compared for different areas, or even across area types. Attention should be given to upper and lower 95% confidence intervals as a quick method of determining whether rates could overlap or are significantly different. Wide confidence intervals are indicative of small numbers in the numerator or of very skewed age structures. Rates of course cannot be summed, and because they are age standardised cannot be reverse engineered back to counts without knowing the age of every patient in the data.
