本文比较了1970年至1980年间美国总预期寿命的变化与无残疾预期寿命的变化。死亡率在这十年期间显著下降，但最近伤残率和无伤残预期寿命变化的方向不太明确。我们的分析使我们能够量化与预期寿命相关的指标，回答这样一个问题：“美国人是否活得更健康、更长寿？”回答这个问题对于确定未来对卫生保健的需求以及旨在提供和支付卫生保健费用的政策非常重要。
THIS ARTICLE COMPARES CHANGES IN TOTAL LIFE EXPECTANCY with changes in disability-free life expectancy between 1970 and 1980 in the United States. Mortality has declined remarkably over this ten-year period, but the direction of recent changes in disability rates and thus disability-free life expectancy is less clear. Our analysis allows us to quantify, in measures related to life expectancy, answers to the question, "Are Americans living longer healthy lives as well as longer lives?" Answering this question is important in determining future needs for health care and policies directed at providing and paying for health care.
