Is healthy life expectancy in Northern Ireland almost ten years lower than in Ireland?

Violin 51 Views
  • Healthy life expectancy (HLE) is the number of years a person can expect to live in good health: for NI, the current estimate for HLE is around 62 years while, for Ireland, it is 69.4 years
  • However, Northern Ireland uses a different definition of good health, meaning direct comparisons between the two figures are ill-advised
  • Analysis of other HLE estimates indicates the gap between NI and ROI is nowhere near ten years

On 4 March, Irish Times columnist David McWilliams claimed:

“The average person in the Republic can expect to live a healthy life for almost a full decade longer

#1 Myth Regarding Longevity, According to an Expert

Violin 53 Views

Violin 60 Views

Pretty much everyone dreams of a long, healthy retirement. Your chances of achieving it, though, vary dramatically.

If you make it to 60-years-old, in some countries like Mexico, Colombia and the United States, on average men can only expect a healthy decade — or less — in retirement.

Violin 139 Views

Legislation to restrict safe options for treatment, like puberty blockers, causes fear and consternation. Some families are fleeing their home states and moving where their children can be their authentic selves and receive comprehensive medical care.

The strain over this issue isn’t confined to state capitals. It extends to one of the country’s most established newspapers, where the newsroom is battling

Violin 109 Views

Mike is Michael Auen, a fellow Linesville resident who received one of Vendley’s kidneys during a Jan. 6 transplant surgeries at UPMC Hamot.
