Healthy life expectancy (HLE) is an estimate of expected years of life spent in self-reported good health. The 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.

It is used as a high-level outcome to contrast and monitor the health status of different populations at specific points in time, giving context to the impacts of policy changes and interventions at both national and local levels.

Healthy life expectancy has value across state, private, and voluntary sectors, in the assessment of healthy ageing, fitness for work, health improvement monitoring, extensions to the state pension age, pension provision, and health and social care need. This indicator is an extremely important summary measure of mortality and morbidity. It complements the supporting indicators such as mortality by cause by showing the overall trends and setting the context in which local authorities can assess the other indicators and identify the drivers of healthy life expectancy.

The health prevalence data used in calculating HLE estimates for the various geographies in England were derived from the Annual Population Survey (APS).

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.

Section 11

This table reports US mortality rates by gender, age, year and household income percentile. Household incomes are measured two years prior to the mortality rate for mortality rates at ages 40-63, and at age 61 for mortality rates at ages 64-76. The “lag” variable indicates the number of years between measurement of income and mortality.

Observations with 1 or 2 deaths have been masked: all mortality rates that reflect only 1 or 2 deaths have been recoded to reflect 3 deaths

In 2024 life expectancy in France is a question of region, department and city

In France, life expectancy at birth is 85.3 years for women and 79.4 years for men. This means that on average, a French woman born in 2024 will live to the age of 85.3 years, and a man to the age of 79.4.

However, life expectancy varies considerably depending on the region, department and city where you live.

In region

Life expectancy is highest in Île-de-France, with 86.6 years for women and 81.9 years for men. Then come Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (86.5 years for women, 81.7 years for men), Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (86.4 years for women, 81.5 years for men) and Brittany (86.2 years for women, 81.3 years for men).

Conversely, life expectancy is lowest in Hauts-de-France, with 83.9 years for women and 78.9 years for men. Then come Normandy (84.1 years for women, 79.1 years for men), Centre-Val de Loire (84.2 years for women, 79.3 years for men) and Burgundy-Franche-Comté (84.3 years for women, 79.4 years for men).

Department

At the departmental level, the departments where we live the longest are Hauts-de-Seine (86.7 years for women, 81.9 years for men), Yvelines (86.4 years for women, 81.6 years for men), Val-de-Marne (86.3 years for women, 81.3 years for men), Paris (86.2 years for women, 81.1 years for men) and Haute-Garonne (86.2 years for women, 81.1 years for men).

Conversely, the departments where we live the least long are Creuse (76.4 years for women, 72.3 years for men), Pas-de-Calais (76.6 years for women, 72.5 years for men), Aisne (76.7 years for women, 72.6 years for men) and Somme (76.8 years for women, 72.7 years for men).

In town

At the municipal level, the cities where we live the longest are Paris (86.2 years for women, 81.1 years for men), Neuilly-sur-Seine (86.1 years for women, 81.0 years for men), Boulogne-Billancourt (85.9 years for women, 80.8 years for men), Rueil-Malmaison (85.8 years for women, 80.7 years for men) and Issy-les-Moulineaux (85.7 years for women, 80.6 years for men).

Conversely, the cities with the least long lived are The Crown (75.4 years for women, 71.3 years for men), Saint-Quentin (75.5 years for women, 71.4 years for men), Maubeuge (75.6 years for women, 71.5 years for men) and Valenciennes (75.7 years for women, 71.6 years for men).

• Standard of living
• Access to care
• The conditions

This dataset is about countries per year in Georgia. It has 64 rows. It features 4 columns: country, life expectancy at birth, and female population.

This table contains 2394 series, with data for years 1991 - 1991 (not all combinations necessarily have data for all years). This table contains data described by the following dimensions (Not all combinations are available): Geography (1 items: Canada ...), Population group (19 items: Entire cohort; Income adequacy quintile 1 (lowest);Income adequacy quintile 2;Income adequacy quintile 3 ...), Age (14 items: At 25 years; At 30 years; At 40 years; At 35 years ...), Sex (3 items: Both sexes; Females; Males ...), Characteristics (3 items: Life expectancy; High 95% confidence interval; life expectancy; Low 95% confidence interval; life expectancy ...).

This indicator measures inequalities in life expectancy at birth within England as a whole, each English region, and each local authority. Life expectancy at birth is calculated for each deprivation decile of lower super output areas within each area and then the slope index of inequality (SII) is calculated based on these figures.

The SII is a measure of the social gradient in life expectancy, i.e., how much life expectancy varies with deprivation. It takes account of health inequalities across the whole range of deprivation within each area and summarises this in a single number. This represents the range in years of life expectancy across the social gradient from most to least deprived, based on a statistical analysis of the relationship between life expectancy and deprivation across all deprivation deciles.

Life expectancy at birth is a measure of the average number of years a person would expect to live based on contemporary mortality rates. For a particular area and time period, it is 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.

The SII for England and for regions have been presented alongside the local authority figures in order to improve the display of the indicators on the overview page. However, they should not be considered as comparators for the local authority figures. The SII for England takes account of the full range of deprivation and mortality across the whole country. This does not therefore provide a suitable benchmark with which to compare local authority results, which take into account the range of deprivation and mortality within much smaller geographies.

This table represents five variants of health expectancies: -life expectancy in perceived good health. -life expectancy without physical limitations. -life expectancy without chronic morbidity. -without psychological complaints (until 2023) -life expectancy without GALI-limitations In addition, figures of 'normal' life expectancy are included, so the figures of health expectancy can be related to them. In the table, the data on health expectancy can be split into the following characteristics: -sex (starting from the data of 2018, the category ‘total, men + women’ is added). -age.

Using this table one can see the developments over time of health expectancies. For example it can be seen that morbidity free life expectancy of women shortened during the eighties and nineties. In the same period the life expectancy free of moderate and severe limitations of men increased.

Data available from: 1981

Status of the figures: The figures in this table are definitive.
