本文研究了 1970 年、1980 年和 1990 年三个时期美国白人和非裔美国人按性别和教育程度划分的健康预期寿命。每个日期的健康预期寿命存在很大的种族和教育差异，而且按教育程度划分的健康预期寿命差异甚至大于总预期寿命的差异。较低教育水平的健康预期寿命存在巨大的种族差异。由于死亡率和发病率差异不断扩大，健康预期寿命的教育差异随着时间的推移而不断增加。在过去的十年中，受教育程度较高的人群的发病率开始下降；地位较低的人的发病率仍在扩大。 (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. 保留所有权利。
This paper examines healthy life expectancy by gender and education for whites and African Americans in the United States at three dates: 1970, 1980 and 1990. There are large racial and educational differences in healthy life expectancy at each date and differences by education in healthy life expectancy are even larger than differences in total life expectancy. Large racial differences exist in healthy life expectancy at lower levels of education. Educational differences in healthy life expectancy have been increasing over time because of widening differentials in both mortality and morbidity. In the last decade, a compression of morbidity has begun among those of higher educational status; those of lower status are still experiencing expansion of morbidity. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
