Estimated partial-cohort LE and disability-free LE across birth cohorts by educational attainment, both sexes combined. The dark shading represents disabled life expectancy (DLE) and the light shading represents disability-free life expectancy (DFLE). 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. HS=high school. BA=bachelor's degree.
