The estimate of life expectancy following a personal injury is probably one of the most important factors in determining the final quantum of damages. It is a calculation fraught with difficulties. This article endeavours to outline some general factors that aid prediction of life expectancy, and also discusses the evidence from the few long-term ...

Decomposition of life expectancy and expected life-years lost by disease
Statistics in Medicine, 2006Life expectancy is commonly used to summarize the life-time mortality experience of a population. Differences in life expectancy are well-known across different levels of socioeconomic status such as income and education. A recent simulation study of potential life-years lost has shown the effects that major diseases contribute to differences in life ...

Some ethical dilemmas in health care, such as over the use of age as a criterion of patient selection, appeal to the notion of life expectancy. However, some features of this concept have not been discussed. Here I look in turn at two aspects: one positive — our expectation of further life — and the other negative — the loss of potential life brought ...
