Exclusions and checks required

  • Healthy life expectancy is a prefecture-level statistic calculated once every three years from the Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions; it does not predict any individual's remaining healthy years.
  • The 'period with activity limitations' is a reference comparison only, since prefecture life expectancy (calculated every 5 years) and healthy life expectancy (every 3 years) are not calculated in the same year.
