Gender-Specific Health-Adjusted Life Expectancy of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Among the Rural Elderly Population.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: This study aimed to estimate the life expectancy (LE) and health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among the rural elderly population. Methods: A total of 10,318 participants aged 65 to 79 were derived from the Henan Rural Cohort. The LE and HALE were calculated via the Sullivan method and multistate life table. Results: Among 10,318 subjects, 1,325 suffered from T2DM at the baseline, and 394 participants had newly-developed T2DM. The results from the Sullivan method showed that the LE, HALE, and HALE/LE were 17.98, 16.18 years, and 89.95% for men aged 65 to 69, and the corresponding estimates for women were 21.81, 18.73 years, and 85.86%, respectively. The LE, HALE and HALE/LE calculated via multistate life table were 19.86
