In 2024, the healthy life years were 61.62 years for men and 65.32 years for women, which means an increase of 0.3 years for men and 0.7 years for women compared to 2023.
Among the major goals of health policy in many countries is increasing healthy life expectancy. If healthy life expectancy increases by a greater extent than life expectancy, it indicates that people experience good health for an increasing part of their lives. Healthy Life Years (HLY) is a coefficient showing the health situation of the population. This indicator is calculated based on the life tables and subjectively perceived disability data.1
1 Disability rates are estimated based on information on the degree of disability limitation obtained from the EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions Survey (EU-SILC).
