American Health-Adjusted Life Expectancy at Midlife: An Analysis Based on the Health and Retirement Study
利用健康与退休研究数据，分析教育和种族如何解释美国45-64岁人群健康调整预期寿命的差异，发现多种疾病和风险因素在2014年预期寿命下降前已长期增加。
The role of education and race in explaining disparities in health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) for Americans aged 45–64 is examined. We compute severity-weighted prevalence of diseases with comorbidity adjustments and map the information onto 21 disabling conditions from the Health and Retirement Study over 2000–2016. The approach allows us to evaluate the importance of major disease and risk factors that explain the dynamics of life expectancy and HALE in recent years, finding that Americans have been experiencing a higher prevalence of various diseases and risk factors long before the recent decline in life expectancy in 2014.
