| Annotation | Many measurements of health status rely on mortality or morbidity-related concepts, such as that of years of life lost. The increasing importance of disability, linked mainly to the ever-increasing proportion of older people in many communities, emphasises the importance of 'potential years of well-being'. This concept of life expectancy free from disability' is presented as a planning and evaluation tool in the health programmes of Quebec. (OFFPRINT). |
