Dear Priastana,

You can not directly measure the life expectancy of elderly. The starting point for calculating life expectancy is the age-specific death rates of the population members. Generally it is calculated using indirect techniques of estimation of life expectancy. Its a little bit complicated.

I Ketut Andika Priastana

Dear Danielle,

Thanks for your advice. I really appreciate your help in resolving the problem.

Best regards,

Priastana

Dear Dr. Chalise,

Thanks for your advice. But I want to assess how the elderly hope to their current life, not about the age-specific death rates of the population members.

Can you help me about it?

Hi Priastana,

You can design questionnaire to measure self perception of health, for this purpose one my article will guide you how to measure it.

Self-reported health: a study of older adults from a developing country--Nepal published in Bioscience Trends will be useful for you.

Cheers

Hom

Thank you very much Dr. Chalise for your advice.

Priastana,

You're welcome and I hope that questionnaire is helpful. Good luck on your project!

There are a number of methods for determining LE using demographic methods and models such as the Sullivan method based on a standard period life table. You might be interested in this paper, "Inequality in disability-free life expectancies among older men and women in six countries with developing economies". www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5013163/

Dear that will not be life expectancy but actually an estimation of hope or will of the elderly about the time period they want to live alive .That will again vary among the healthy and sick elders .I there recommend you to divide your study into two groups 1. 1. Healthy elders

2.Sick elders

Then compare the two groups that will draw a good conclusion

Even the disease group can be sub-divided on the bases of diseases

Dear Paul Kowal and Ashique Ali,

Heather Booth

A life table for the country (or province) will give you life expectancy at every age.

If you have a small group of elderly, use self-rated health as a rough proxy.

I wish you got wonderful comments suggestion for your question. We should utilize RG for our academic purpose. It is a great platform. We get advice, suggestion, link of research materials, resources free of cost.

Really Dr. Chalise ..

With RG, I've been getting a lot of positive suggestions for research and knowledge development .. Therefore I am grateful to RG and everyone who uses RG..
