This indicator refers to Healthy Life Years (HLY) at 65 which measures the number of years that a person aged 65 years is expected to live in a healthy condition. HLY is a health expectancy indicator which combines information on mortality and morbidity.
The data used are the age-specific prevalence proportions of the population in healthy and unhealthy conditions and age-specific mortality information. A healthy condition is defined by the absence of limitations in functioning and disability. The indicator is calculated separately for males and females. The indicator is also called disability-free life expectancy (DFLE).
