Remaining life expectancy is a key measure of health.METHODS:We identified 11 long-term follow-up studies of stroke patients that reported the multivariate effects of age, sex, the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) grade of disability, and other factors. From these we computed the composite effects ...
"We found that a stroke reduced a patient's life expectancy by five and a half years on average, compared with the general population," Dr. Peng said. "In proportional terms, this meant a stroke reduced a person's life expectancy by one third. "Patients with a hemorrhagic stroke who hav...
5 Abstract Background Conducting a distinct comparison between the life expectancy (LE) and healthy life expectancy (HALE) of people with disabilities (PWDs) and the general population is necessary due to the various environmental and health conditions they ...

HLE = healthy life expectancy; LE = life expectancy. In the nondepressed group, the average LE ranged from 17.4 years at age 65–69 to 5.7 years at age 85 or older, the average HLE ranged from 14.2 years at age 65–69 to 4.7 years at age 85 or older, and the proportion of HLE ...

As expected, male patients were documented to have a higher mortality rate than females across all age categories. The mor- tality rate among females remained relatively steady until the age of 60 years and rapidly increased after the age of 65 years. Life expectancy of Fabry Registry patients...
Patient perceptions of remaining life expectancy were addressed with sequential items validated in prior studies.22-24 After a short introduction to the concept of prognosis, patients were asked, “What do you think the eventual outcome will be from your heart failure?” Possible answers were (1)...
(AP) -- U.S. life expectancy has dropped slightly - by about a month - after mostly inching up for many years, the government reported Thursday. The preliminary report indicates that a baby born in 2008 can expect to live to 77.8 years if current trends continue. That's down a bit fr...
Briefly, a modified Kaplan-Meier method was used with survival age as the time scale (Figure 1). For example, the remaining lifetime risk for hypertension for 55-year-old participants is simply the cumulative incidence of hypertension over 25 years (estimated residual life expectancy) thus: ...
