AI Summary
A new Finnish study has established population‑level norm values that adjust life expectancy for health‑related functional capacity and productivity. The research provides separate norms for everyday functioning, work ability, and a newly created metric called productivity‑adjusted life expectancy. These norms allow estimation of how many years individuals can expect to live in good health and remain productive. The findings suggest that while Finns may reach ages of 80 to 85, the average span of productive, healthy years falls between 43 and 46.
