520 $a The varied effects of risk factors on health status and disparity in ALE between genders for the elderly provide practical indicators for evaluating current health and social welfare programs. Policy implications and future research are suggested.
520 $a There are two aims in this study. The first is to identify risk factors affecting health status of the elderly in Taiwan during 1989 to 1999. The second is to discover whether the elderly live longer having a longer healthy life or only extending unhealthy life. The study is based on the nationally representative longitudinal data set, called “Surveys of Health and Living Status of the Middle Aged and the Elderly in Taiwan.” A logistic regression analysis, using SAS program, was performed to analyze risk factors of health status. Health transitions, life expectancy (LE), and active life expectancy (ALE) were analyzed based on a concept of multi-state life table by using the Interpolation of Markov Chains (IMaCh) program.
520 $a For risk factors of health status, regular exercise is the only factor having statistically significant positive effects on being in a healthy state for the elderly among all health dimensions across survey years. Education, gender, age, ethnicity, and the presence of a companion show disparate effects across health dimensions. Interaction effects also varied between gender/education and gender/smoking status in terms of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), perceived health, and life satisfaction.
520 $a For results of ALE, based on the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) index, females have more years of LE, ALE, and inactive life expectancy (ILE) compared to males. However, when different health indices are used—IADL and functional ability (FA) indices—females have more years of LE and ILE, but fewer years of ALE compared to males. There are marked differences in years of ALE between the elderly who started with different initial health states. For example, the elderly at age 70, who started with an active state without limitation in the ADL index, have 5–7 more years of LE, with 7–9 more years of ALE, and 2 fewer years of ILE compared to the ones who started with an inactive state.
