Abstract
The aim of this study is to estimate the health expectancy at 60 years and over of the Italian population, employing data from the 2010-2013 longitudinal release of the Italian “Statistics on Income and Living Conditions” survey (EU-SILC), carried out by the National Institute of Statistics. For each age we estimated the probability of transition between health states for men and women and health expectancies using the software IMaCh. Results are consistent with the literature: women live longer than men, but show longer life expectancy with disability. Globally, we found no evidence of a general deterioration of health status in the period under examination, however, results show a relative deterioration in the status of women’s health compared to men.
