Trends in educational inequality in healthy life expectancy in Denmark between 2010 and 2021: a population-based study
Trends in educational inequality in HLE in Denmark 2010-2021 vary by health indicator. Steadily widening gaps were demonstrated for long-standing illness, while narrowing gaps were seen after 2017 for activity limitations and self-rated health. Future studies are encouraged to explore potential health risk behaviours that may explain or modify these inequality trends.
