Life expectancy and healthy life expectancy in European countries

The paper will analyze and compare trends in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy in selected European countries from 1995 to 2010. The length of human life can be expressed by the indicator of life expectancy of an x-year old person. Life expectancy is understood as the average age of the deaths in a stationary population. But the healthy life expectancy can be considered as an indicator that tells us how many of these years are spent by the people in good health.
In this paper data about life expectancy and healthy life expectancy at birth and of a 65-year-old person for selected European countries (Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Czech Republic, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, United Kingdom, Poland, Hungary, Estonia) will be compared. Data will be examined separately for men and women in the period 1995-2011.
Calculated absolute and relative changes in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy between years as well as differences between life expectancy and healthy life expectancy will be supplemented by figures and the graphical visualization of the data.
