Jean-Marie Robine, Sophie Le Roy
and the EHEMU team
Europe Blanche XXVI
Budapest November 2005
EHEMU
To assist the European Commission:• to monitor inequalities in health and
longevity among the EU countries• to explore compression or expansion
of healthy life through cross-national comparisons of healthy life expectancy at birth and age 65
• to explore gender differences in health, longevity and healthy life expectancy
• with analysis of the new EU structural indicator Healthy Life Years
More on EHEMU
• EHEMU reports• General reports on life and healthy life
expectancies in the European Union• Country reports

Conclusions for LE
The deviations in life expectancy are considerable within the European Union:
- reaching a maximum of 12 years for men at birth- reaching a maximum of 7 years for women at birth- at birth as well as at age 65
The current trends do not suggest that life expectancies are converging
Monitoring changes in life expectancy is crucial for the EU
