As I've already posted, variability in healthy years of life is strongly linked to deprivation. The greater the deprivation the greater the number of years in poor health.
However, how this effects the sexes varies with deprivation. The greater the deprivation, the more years of ill health women experience than men. At the lowest levels of deprivation, the number of years of ill health is almost equal but with a slight advantage to women.
We can either talk about life expectancy (which TMB doesn't like), or quality of life which TMB has so far ignored.
