We introduce a measure of population health that is sensitive to dispersion in both agespecific health and lifespan …. The measure generalises health-adjusted life expectancy without requiring more data. A transformation of change in the … measure gives a distributionally sensitive monetary valuation of change in population health and disease burden. Application …

We construct a unified objective measure of health status: the frailty index, defined as the cumulative sum of all … adverse health indicators observed for an individual. First, we show that the frailty index has several advantages over self …-reported health status, particularly when studying health dynamics. Then we estimate a stochastic process for frailty dynamics over …
