“…The percentage for Q2/Y (Do you take insulin injections or other medications to reduce blood glucose level at present?/Yes) was negatively correlated to LE in males. Since the participants who selected “Yes” presumably suffer diabetes, this negative correlation was due to the negative impact of diabetes on population health outcomes [ 40 , 41 ]. Meanwhile, the positive association between the percentage for Q2/Y and HALE in females was demonstrated by the correlation study and regression analysis.…”

In Japan, population health with life expectancy (LE) and healthy life expectancy (HALE) as indicators varies across the 47 prefectures (administrative regions). This study investigates how health examination results, including attitude toward improving life habits, are associated with population health. The association between health checkup variables and summary population health outcomes (i.e., life expectancy and healthy life expectancy) was investigated using a cross-sectional ecological design with prefectures as the unit of analysis. The medical records, aggregated by prefecture, gender, and age in the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan (NDB) Open Data Japan, were used as health checkup variables. Body weight, blood pressure, liver enzymes, drinking habits, smoking habits, diabetes, serum lipids, and answers to questions regarding attitude toward improving health habits were significantly correlated to population health outcomes. Multiple regression analysis also revealed significant influence of these variables on population health. This study highlights that health examination results, including attitude toward improving health habits, are positively associated with population health. Consequently, implementing measures to improve health habits in response to the examination results could help the population maintain a healthy life.

“…3 While LE at birth in other developed countries has increased, US LE has declined, partly perhaps due to increases in cause-specific mortality caused by drug overdoses, alcohol abuse, suicides and diseases including hypertensive diseases and diabetes. 4 Large disparities exist in LEs between populations with and without diabetes in the USA, 5–7 indicating that the long-term rise in the prevalence of diabetes has major implications for longevity and health.…”

BackgroundTo evaluate regional disparities in the influence of diabetes on population health, we examine life expectancies at age 50 between population with diabetes and healthy population and life quality among the population with diabetes among native-born Americans by birth region and current residence.MethodsUsing data on a cohort of 17 686 native-born individuals from the Health and Retirement Survey (1998–2014), we applied a Bayesian multistate life table method to estimate life expectancies at age 50 between population with diabetes and healthy population by each birth/current region combination. We further estimate the proportion of life remaining without either chronic conditions or disabilities as a quality of life measure and the probabilities that one region is worse than the other in terms of different health outcomes.ResultsAt age 50, persons with diabetes (PWD) were expected to live on average 5.8–10.8 years less than their healthy equivalents across regions. Diabetes had the greatest influence on life expectancy (LE) for older adults who lived in the South at the time of interviews. PWD born in the South were more likely to have developed chronic conditions or disabilities and spent greater proportions of life with these two issues compared to other regions.ConclusionDiabetes is a significant threat to LE and healthy LE in the USA, particularly for people born or living in the South.

“…In 1990, the United Nations Development Statistics Agency, in their Human Development Report [ 1 ], began using life expectancy (LE) as one of the indicators to be used for the measurement of the level of human development in individual countries. LE is a statistical measure of the average time an organism is expected to live based on current mortality [ 2 ].…”

Association of Major Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases and Life Expectancy in China, 2019

This study aimed to illustrate the association of four major chronic noncommunicable diseases (cardiovascular diseases, cancer, respiratory diseases, and diabetes) with life expectancy (LE) of Chinese residents in 2019 and to provide an evidence base for the scientific prevention and treatment of chronic diseases in China. The abbreviated life and cause-eliminated life tables were compiled according to the Jiang Qing Lang method recommended by WHO (World Health Organization) to calculate LE and cause-eliminated life expectancy (CELE) in 2019. The disease that had the greatest association with the LE of Chinese residents was cardiovascular disease (CVD), with the LE increasing by 8.13 years after removing CVD deaths. This was followed by cancer (2.68 years), respiratory diseases (0.88 years), and diabetes (0.24 years). The four major chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) were the main diseases affecting the health of Chinese residents. CVD should be prevented and treated as the key disease among the chronic diseases, while women and rural people should be the major focus of health knowledge promotion. All residents should be encouraged to develop a good understanding of self-protection and of how to achieve a healthy lifestyle in order to reduce the occurrence of death and to improve their quality of life and health in general.
