“…Such prevalence rates can be obtained readily from cross-sectional health or disability surveys that are carried out for a population at a point in time. Surveys of this type are carried out regularly in the UK, both at the national (Robine and Ritchie, 1991;Matthews et al, 2006) and regional level (Congdon, 2006), and indeed across the European Union member states (Robine and Jagger, 2003;Robine et al, 2004). Its interest lies in its simplicity, the availability of its basic data and its independence of the size and age structure of the population.…”

Will the UK's aging population be fit and independent, or suffer from greater chronic ill health? Life expectancy of healthy people represents the expected number of years of healthy well-being that a life-table cohort would experience if age-specific rates of mortality and disability prevailed throughout the cohort's lifetime. Robust estimation of this life expectancy is thus essential for examining whether additional years of life are spent in good health and whether life expectancy is increasing faster than the decline of rates of disability. The paper examines a means of generating estimates of life expectancy for people who are healthy and unhealthy for the UK that are consistent with exogenous population mortality data. The method takes population transition matrices and adjusts these in a statistically coherent way so as to render them consistent with aggregate life-tables.

“…National censuses have traditionally been one of the main sources of small-area health information. In the UK, as well as in other countries with census health questions, numerous academic publications attest to the importance of census health data as a source for small area studies of health inequalities (with examples including Barnett et al, 2001;Boyle et al, 1999;Cairns et al, 2012;Congdon, 2006;Haynes and Gale, 2000). As of January 2014 a total of 227 countries or areas have taken or will be taking a census between 2005(United Nations, 2014.…”

Censuses have traditionally been a key source of localised information on the state of a nation's health. Many countries are now adopting alternative approaches to the traditional census, placing such information at risk. The purpose of this paper is to inform debate about whether existing social surveys could provide an adequate 'base' for alternative model-based small area estimates of health data in a post traditional census era. Using a case study of 2011 UK Census questions on self-assessed health and limiting long term illness, we examine the extent to which the results from three large-scale surveys - the Health Survey for England, the Crime Survey for England and Wales and the Integrated Household Survey - conform to census output. Particularly in the case of limiting long term illness, the question wording renders comparisons difficult. However, with the exception of the general health question from the Health Survey for England all three surveys meet tests for convergent validity.
