Outline of Final Research Achievements

We examined trends in healthy life expectancy at age 20 based on self-rated health responses between 2004 and 2013 in Japan. Both life expectancy and healthy life expectancy at age 20 have increased about a year for both men and women over this time-period. However, the proportion of healthy life expectancy to total life expectancy has not changed significantly over this time. We also computed disability-free life expectancy for ages 20 to 64, where any limitation of activities was the definition of disability. We found that partial life expectancy and partial disability-free life expectancy have increased slightly. However, the proportion of disability-free life expectancy has not changed much. Based on these results, we may conclude that Japan is experiencing dynamic equilibrium in population health, with approximately equal increases in expected years lived both disability-free and with activity limitation.
