Abstract

The health of a population is an important indicator of the general well-being of the population, and it has its practical significance, as it determines the costs of providing care, and social and medical assistance for the elderly. The study presents an assessment of healthy life-expectancy indicators of people over age 65 based on the results of the Russian epidemiological study EVCALIPT and a comparison of this results with data from other surveys in Russia and European countries.
