Men live more of their lives disability-free than women, according to multistate life-table analysis of the German Socio-Economic Panel Survey. Socio-economic factors influence both mortality and morbidity, impacting active life expectancy.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Context:

  • Utilizes the German Socio-Economic Panel Survey (SOEP) data.
  • Employs multistate life-table methodology.
  • Incorporates event-history analysis to examine determinants of health.

Purpose:

  • To analyze active life expectancy in Germany.
  • To identify determinants of mortality and morbidity.
  • To understand the interplay of socio-economic factors with health expectancies.

Summary:

  • Multistate life-table analysis reveals gender disparities in active life expectancy, with men experiencing a higher proportion of life without disability.
  • Event-history analysis identifies key determinants influencing both mortality and morbidity.
  • Socio-economic factors are shown to be significant predictors of health expectancies.
