Estimated partial-cohort LE and disability-free LE across birth cohorts The differently shaded areas represent the distribution of the LE across life with and without ADL disability. The black vertical lines denote the 95% CI around each point estimate. The bars do not necessarily reflect the ordering of these life-years by health states, as individuals in our analysis can recover and relapse between states. The percentage figure in each bar shows the percentage of total LE spent disability-free for each cohort. LE=life expectancy. ADL=activities of daily living.
