Great start of the year with this paper just out! Why do women live longer than men, but spend more time in poor health? Findings support the longevity hypothesis: women’s higher life expectancy is the main driver of their longer lifetime spent in poor health 👇

Large interest in the poster on entrance of Syrians in the Austrian labour market by Bernhard Rengs at #WIC2025

this is also part of the project developed at @demographyvienna.bsky.social.

because it is very common for researchers and institutes to use gender gaps as markers for inequality, we raise the awareness that gender gaps in healthy life expectancy as a metric for gender inequality in health is misleading.

We find that countries with very different levels of development, healthcare systems and gender roles can have similar gender gaps, but substantial differences in the levels of mortality and health.

We show results for 24 countries and regions, including the USA, England, South Korea, China, India, Mexico and 19 European Union countries for the years 2014–2015 and 2017–2019, using harmonised Gateway to Global Aging Data for chronic disease and disability

💡New paper out! Together with @marilianep.bsky.social and Cássio Turra, we show that using gender gaps in healthy life expectancy as a metric for gender inequality in health is misleading, masking important underlying gender differences in health and mortality.

Graph showing life expectancy trends in 23 higher income countries between 1980 and 2024. Life expectancy increased over time in all countries. In 1980, the US is in the middle of the pack, but their life expectancy gains were slower than that of other countries, and by around 2002, the US had the lowest life expectancy of all countries. Over the next 20 years, US life expectancy increasingly tracks away from the trajectories of other countries, as their life expectancy stalls while other countries life expectancy continues to climb

This graph never fails to be shocking: "The US has experienced the earliest and greatest slowdown in life expectancy improvements among higher-income countries, reported Eileen Crimmins. “We have horrible life expectancy—and it’s getting worse and worse”"

Recalling that COVID still ranks in the top 10 causes of death in the US since 2023, while it ranked third in 2021-2022! So it had not only an important impact during the height of the pandemic, but it also remained a leading cause of death overall thereafter.
