Healthy and Disability-Free Life Expectancy

<p><a href="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/health-disability-free-life-expectancy-borough.xls">Healthy life expectancy and disability-free life expectancy</a> by gender, from birth and age 65.
</p>
<p>Health life expectancy is defined as the average number of years a person aged 'x' would live in good/fairly good health if he or she experiences the particular area's age-specific mortality and health rates for 2001 throughout their life.<br />
Disability-free life expectancy is defined as the average number of years a person aged 'x' would live disability-free (no limiting long-term illness) if he or she experienced the particular area's age-specific mortality and health rates for 2001 throughout their life.<br />
The estimates are calculated by combining age and sex specific mortality rates, with age and sex specific rates on general health and limiting long-term illness from the 2001 Census.
