@GeofCox@climatejustice.social these estimates of whether someone is still living a healthy life and derived estimates what their healthy life expectancy wil be are based on people's responses to direct and entirely qualitative questions eg in the census, and are hence use entirely subjective assessments. There have also been some changes in the wording.
I'm not convinced they can be entirely relied upon when comparing healthy life expectancies through time.
