Summary

We use the main parts of the first exit time theory developed in connection to the life table data and the resulting theoretical and applied issues to define the health state curve (HSC) and to develop a health state life table as an expansion of the classical life tables. The HSCs are estimated for USA 2000, for the Carey Medflies, and for the operational state curve for cars. Comparative estimates are done for the loss of healthy life years and the healthy life expectancy for all countries of the World Health Organization.
