Objective. To estimate cognitively healthy life expectancy (CHLE), cognitive impairment life expectancy (CILE), and dementia life expectancy (DLE) in Mexican adults aged 60 and older stratified by educational attainment. Materials and methods. The data were obtained from Waves 1 (2001) to 5 (2018) of the Mexican Health and Aging Study. The life expectancy was estimated using a multistate life table analysis. Results. CHLE at age 60 increased with higher educational attainment and ranged from 17.9 to 24.4 years in female participants, and 17.2 to 21.3 in male participants. The CILE and DLE decreased with greater educational attainment. The CILE ranged from 0.7 to 2.8 years in female participants and 0.7 to 2.6 in male participants. Conclusions. Older adults in Mexico with higher education live more years with good cognitive health and fewer years with cognitive impairment and dementia. Education has a stronger effect on the length of cognitively healthy life expectancies than on total life expectancies.
