Estimating health-adjusted life expectancy conditional on risk factors: results for smoking and obesity

Abstract

Differences in HALE between smoking, obese and 'healthy living' cohorts are substantial and similar to differences in LE. However, our results do not indicate that substantial compression of morbidity is to be expected as a result of successful smoking or obesity prevention.
