12th European Health Forum, Gastein 2009
EHLEIS Team
• Main partner: – J-M Robine (INSERM, France)
• Associated partners: – C Jagger (University of Leicester, UK)– H Van Oyen (Scientific Institute of Public Health, Belgium)– E Cambois (National Institute of Demography, France)– W Nusselder (Erasmus Medical Center, The Netherlands)– G Doblhammer (Max Planck Institute, Germany)– J Rychtaříková (Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic)
Outline
• Historical background– Developing harmonised health indicators– Developing standardised calculation methods
• European Health Expectancy Monitoring Unit (EHEMU)– Aims– Achievements
• European Health and Life Expectancy Information System (EHLEIS)– Inequalities in health expectancies– Gender gaps in HLYs
Key messages
• To tackle health inequalities we need to be able to monitor multiple dimensions of health across all countries in an accurate and sustainable manner
• Health inequalities exist within European countries as well as between them so countries should use the same methods regionally as nationally
• The European Union provides a natural population laboratory for exploring solutions to health inequalities – if we can– sustain harmonised monitoring and measurement– maximally utilise the complementary data sources (EHIS, SHARE,
SILC)
Health Expectancies
Health expectancies• Add a quality dimension to life expectancy• Are useful to:
– monitor population health over time– compare different countries– compare regions within countries– compare different population subgroups
despite any differences in age structure
• Need data on :– the prevalence of health by age and sex from a survey and a
standard life tableor– health and survival from a longitudinal survey

Historical background
• The sustained interest in health expectancy within countries led to a European research programme Euro-REVES I identifying reasons for the incomparability of European results (Biomed II, 1995-1997)– Collection of health expectancies made by European
members identified the problem– Detailed description of the concepts, questionnaires and
calculation methods used identified the reason for incomparability
– Recommendations for harmonised data collection (Euro-REVES II, Health Monitoring Programme 1997-2002) and calculation methods (EHEMU, Public Health Programme 2007-9)
Proposals for nine instruments dealing with:• Chronic morbidity
– Global– Detailed
• Functional limitation– Detailed (physical and sensory)
• Activity restriction – Global (GALI)– Detailed (personal care, household care, other activities)
• Perceived health– Global
• Mental health

MEHM*
*Minimum European Health Module (Module 2000) for inclusion in all the European health and social surveys and included in Health Surveys (Eurobarometer, SILC)
The European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) is an instrument aiming at collecting timely and comparable cross-sectional and longitudinal multidimensional microdata on income, poverty, social exclusion and living conditions.
See: http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/
Including the Mini European Health Module (MEHM)

Leading to: the wider vision
• European Health Survey System (EHSS)– Comprehensive and co-ordinated set of surveys – Allowing inter country comparisons– Aiming to monitor potential changes in health over
time requires a series of data collections not just a “one-off”
– Built around a European Health Interview Survey (EHIS) which should include
• European Health Status Module (EHSM) – standardized core covering main health dimensions including the Mini European Health Module (MEHM)
European Health Expectancy Monitoring Unit (EHEMU)
• Providing annual comparable values– HLY from SILC– Paper based country reports – Web (www.ehemu.eu)
• Analysing and interpreting the results– Health expectancies from other surveys– Variation between countries in HLY – Trends
• Educating about health expectancies– Sullivan Guide– Interpreting Guide

Are HLY gaps due to mortality or disability?
• EU-10: gender gap mostly due male disadvantage in mortality• EU-15: no gender gap in HLYs but male disadvantage in mortality
offset by male advantage in disability• EU-10 v EU15: male disadvantage in mortality larger and male
advantage in disability smaller than EU15

Conclusions• Considerable inequalities exist within the EU-25 at age 65
– in LE– and more so in HLY
• Harmonisation of measures not optimal as yet• Current project EHLEIS is extending research to:
– Contribution of macro-level factors to HLY variation– Gender gaps– Decomposition
• Task Force on Health Expectancies constituted with three year strategic plan to:
– further improve comparability within EU– support National Statistics Office– improve comparability outside EU
• Observers from US Healthy People 2010, Japan, OECD, WHO, Washington Group, Budapest Initiative
Key messages
• To tackle health inequalities we need to be able to monitor multiple dimensions of health across all countries in an accurate and sustainable manner
• Health inequalities exist within European countries as well as between them so countries should use the same methods regionally as nationally
• The European Union provides a natural population laboratory for exploring solutions to health inequalities – if we can– sustain harmonised monitoring and measurement– maximally utilise the complementary data sources (EHIS, SHARE,
SILC)
