This study introduces a new method to calculate active and disabled life expectancy (ALE and DLE) using current risks. Findings show disability risk increased for older US adults between 1970 and 1990.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Biostatistics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Estimating life expectancy requires accurate data on mortality and disability.
  • Existing methods may not fully capture dynamic changes in disability risk over time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for reconstructing active and disabled life expectancy (ALE and DLE).
  • To measure changes in disability risk using national-level data.
  • To analyze trends in disability risk for older adults in the US.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes national-level data on death and disability risks.
  • Employs the Gompertz model for age-related mortality.
  • Incorporates the Cox proportional hazards model for comparing active and disabled statuses.

Main Results:

  • The developed method successfully reconstructs ALE and DLE.
  • Disability risk significantly increased for US men and women aged 40 and older between 1970 and 1990.
  • Identified specific trends in disability risk over a two-decade period.

Conclusions:

  • The method provides a robust framework for assessing life expectancy and disability.
  • The observed increase in disability risk highlights potential public health concerns for aging populations.
  • Further research can explore relaxing the underlying assumptions to refine the model.
