Since 2008, disability-free life expectancy at age 65 has increased by 1 year and 9 months for women and by 1 year and 6 months for men.
Life expectancy without disability at birth, which takes into account the possible occurrence of disabilities throughout life, also increased by 9 months for women between 2008 and 2022 and by 1 year and 1 month for men. It stands at 65.3 years for women and 63.8 years for men.
In France, in 2021, disability-free life expectancy at age 65 is higher than the European average: 2 years and 8 months for women and 1 year and 10 months for men.
In 2022, disability-free life expectancy at age 65 will be 11.8 years for women and 10.2 years for men.
According to the latest data calculated for 2022, at age 65, women can expect to live 11.8 years without disability and men, 10.2 years. Disability-free life expectancy at age 65 has been trending upwards since 2008, for women (+1 year and 9 months) and for men (+1 year and 6 months). Over this period, disability-free life expectancy at age 65 increased faster than life expectancy at age 65. Also, among the years remaining to live at age 65, the share of those who will be lived without disability has increased since 2008: it increased from 44.7% in 2008 to 51.0% in 2022 for women, and from 47. 7% in 2008 to 53.0% in 2022 for men.
In 2022, life expectancy without disability reaches 65.3 years for women and 63.8 years for men
At birth, women can expect to live 65.3 years without disability and men 63.8 years in 2022. Life expectancies without disability at birth have increased since 2008: + 9 months for women, + 1 year and 1 months for men.
Life expectancy at birth and life expectancy without disability: two indicators disrupted by the health crisis
The pandemic caused by Covid-19 has had a strong impact on the evolution of life expectancies and disability-free life expectancies. In 2020, life expectancies fell, while disability-free life expectancies stagnated. In 2021 and 2022, life expectancies will increase slightly once more, without returning to their level before the Covid-19 epidemic, but life expectancies without disability are experiencing very uneven developments (see below). box Methodological precautions): they increase sharply in 2021 to decrease in 2022 and return to a level close to that of 2020.
In France, disability-free life expectancy at birth and at age 65 is higher than the European average
In 2021 (1), France ranks fourth in the European Union of 27 for disability-free life expectancy for men at age 65, i.e. 1 year and 10 months above the European average. It ranks third for women with an indicator 2 years and 8 months higher than the European average.
France is also above the European average for life expectancy without disability at birth for men (+2 years and 5 months) and women (+2 years and 8 months), in fifth place for men. and sixth for women.
