Healthy life expectancy; level of education; 2011/2014-2015/2018

This table contains figures on life expectancy and healthy life expectancy broken down by educational level. Healthy life expectancy is the number of years that people of a certain age can expect to live in good health, assuming that the chances of mortality and unhealth will remain the same in the future. The table provides four variants of healthy life expectancy: life expectancy in well-experienced health life expectancy without physical limitations life expectancy without chronic diseases life expectancy in good mental health The table focuses on differences in (healthy) life expectancy by educational level and therefore provides figures across three levels of education: low, medium and high. The table also shows the mortality rates per level of education used in the calculations. The figures refer to four-year periods (2011/2014, 2013/2016, etc.). The reason for this is that the CBS Health Survey is used for the health characteristics. This survey is too small to be able to determine the figures on an annual basis. Data available from: 2011/2014 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final. Changes as of 11 November 2020 None, this table has been discontinued Changes as of 16 August 2019: The figures for 2015/2018 have been added. When are new figures coming? No longer applicable. This table has been discontinued due to a revision of the method. New figures appear in the Healthy Life Expectancy table; gender, age and education level. See paragraph 3.
