Abstract
Abstract
Background:
The aim of this research is to estimate the scenarios of health expectancy dynamics following life expectancy dynamics
Methods:
Life tables including the information on health self-assessment.
Results:
From 2004 to 2019 the value of e(20)-h(20) for males increased from 4.5 years to 5.5 years (%e(20) remained constant on the level of 11%).
For females e(20)-h(20) decreased from 10.8 to 7.5 years (%e(20) decreased by 7% - from 20% to 13%).
Conclusion:
The positive dynamics of general health among females in Russia may be associated with a decrease in mortality from cardiovascular diseases among the elderly, which, combined with the positive dynamics of self-protective behavior, could show signs of the “cardiovascular revolution”.
Additional explanatory mechanism for this hypothesis is proposed.
