This study introduces worklife expectancies, a novel population health metric combining mortality and nonfatal outcomes. These metrics accurately measure future work ability duration, outperforming other health indicators in occupational health contexts.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Biostatistics
  • Public Health Metrics

Background:

  • Assessing population health requires metrics that integrate mortality and nonfatal health outcomes.
  • Existing measures like health expectancies and health gap measures have limitations in capturing comprehensive health status.
  • There is a need for robust health metrics applicable to working populations, particularly for health promotion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and discuss optimal properties for population health metrics.
  • To compare health expectancies and health gap measures.
  • To introduce and evaluate worklife expectancies as a measure for working populations.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual review of population health metrics.
  • Comparative analysis of health expectancies and health gap measures.

  • Application of worklife expectancies using survey data on Finnish municipal workers' work ability.

    • Main Results:

    • Worklife expectancies are proposed as probabilistic measures of health in working populations.
    • The study illustrates the application of worklife expectancies with data from aging Finnish municipal workers.
    • These expectancies reflect the future duration of occupancy in a given state of work ability.

    Conclusions:

    • Developed worklife expectancies are appropriate indicators for measuring future work ability duration.
    • Worklife expectancies are recommended over alternative population health measures in occupational health.
    • The metrics support health promotion by providing insights into work ability trajectories.
