Abstract: Using data form sampling survey of population in 1994 and 2004,this paper conducted the analysis on Activity of Daily Living of elderly population,as well as the trend of expansion in Healthy Life Expectancy of Chinese elderly with Sullivan method in east,middle and west China.The research results indicated that the ADL of the elderly in east China are higher than that of the elderly in middle and west regions,and the proportion of the elderly with ADL impairment in 2004 are higher than that in 1994.The results of comparison on the HLE of the elderly in 2004 and 1994 shows that the increasing speed of HLE are higher than that of LE in east older females,which matches the pattern of morbidity compression.However,the pattern of morbidity expansion can provide better description for the extending of HLE of older males in east areas as well as the elderly in middle and west China.

摘要： 文章利用1994年和2004年人口变动抽样调查数据,分析了中国东、中、西部老年人口的生活自理能力状况,并利用Sullivan方法计算了1994年和2004年东、中、西部老年人口的健康预期寿命的变化趋势。分析结果表明,东部地区中国老年人口的生活自理能力优于中、西部地区,2004年老年人口中能够生活自理者的比重低于1994年。1994～2004年预期寿命与健康预期寿命增长的比较分析结果显示,东部的老年男性和中、西部的老年人口的预期寿命增长速度快于健康预期寿命,符合功能残障期扩张的特征;而东部的老年女性的健康预期寿命增长则相对较快,符合功能残障期压缩的模式。
