Summary
For women worldwide, this gap averaged 12.1 years in 2023 and 9.3 years for men. “Women live longer than men almost anywhere in the world, but they spend more of those extra years in poor health,” says co-author Catherine Bisignano. According to the study, in 1990, people spent an average of 8.8 years of life in poor health, which was 13.6 percent of their lifetime. In the USA, it was 14 years, in Australia 13.9 years and in Canada 13.7 years.
Furthermore, This affects particularly prosperous countries, as an international research team after evaluating global data for the period from 1990 to 2023 in the journal "The Lancet Public Health" writes. Thus, the expected life span of those born in 1990 is on average 64.6 years. In the study, the team led by Christopher Murray from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington in Seattle evaluated data from 204 countries and regions on life expectancy - and also on life in good health.
In addition, The life span in good health increased from 55.9 to 63.1 years in this period - 7.2 years. “Progresses in healthy ageing should not only be measured in the life span, but in the health span,” study leader Murray is quoted in a statement from his institute. The gap between life span and healthy years is growing – especially in wealthy countries such as the USA (14 years).
Moreover, Both are inextricably linked and equally important.
