Sullivan’s method is a very simple method to compute health expectancies; it has been used and discussed by many authors. It combines data issued from a regular period life table on the one hand and from cross-sectional survey providing prevalence of a given health dimension on the other hand, let’s say, disability. The age-specific prevalence is directly applied to the ...
The multistate life table method has been proposed by Rogers and colleagues in order to take into account the recovery of lost functions and return to a state of good health. Data comes from longitudinal surveys which provide requested probabilities over a couple of years: - onset of disability or other health problems - recovery from disability or other heath problems - probability of dying for people ...

Health expectancy indicators have become important instruments for public health. Therefore, how to interpret levels, trends or disparities within and between countries is a crucial issue: Why female health expectancies shorter than male? Do social status matters for health expectancies? Can we find regional patterns within countries? etc... In order to properly comment and use these indicators, one should be aware of how it is computed and what are ...
Emmanuelle Cambois, research at INED, works on the measure of the health status of the population and its determinants, especially social determinants.
My research is in the field of public health and population studies, with a specific interest on: Population health: Levels, trends and disparities, more particularly looking at social/gender health and mortality inequalities. The health deterioration process: to identify mechanisms and factors leading from chronic diseases to functional limitation and activity restrictions, with national and European data bases, Measurement issues: quality and comparability of ...
