AnnotationHealthy life expectancy in England is increasing all the time, but not by as much as life expectancy. Thus, people can expect to live more years of life "not in good health". This article investigates the feasibility of producing healthy life expectancy estimates for subnational geographic areas of England in the 1990s. By adapting the methods used in the national calculations, it is feasible to produce healthy life expectancy estimates for NHS regions and health authorities. The analysis shows inequalities in healthy life expectancy between males and females and also between the north and south of England. (RH).
