Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the average life expectancy (LE) and average healthy life expectancy (HLE) of Omani adults of different ages and sexes, focusing on whether the higher LE for women compared to men is an advantage or a burden to women. Method: Data for the study comes from multiple sources such as the 2010 Census, 2008 Oman World Health Survey and secondary data published in the Oman Statistical Yearbook. The life expectancy table and the modified life table proposed by Sullivan were used to estimate LE and HLE for adults aged 20 years and older. Results: LE in Oman recently reached 76 years for both sexes. But as of 2010, LE in Oman has been stalled for about 76 years. Women had a higher LE than men (79 years vs. 74 years). When it comes to HLE, men in Oman fared better than women. At age 20, the difference in LE between men and women was 4.7 years in favor of women, while the difference between men and women in HLE was 5.8 years in favor of men. Women have been in poor health relatively longer than men (20.8 years compared to 10.8 years), and the percentage of life spent in poor health is higher in women than in men (35.0% compared to 19.3 %). This revealed the paradox of lower mortality but higher morbidity among women, supporting the "error" hypothesis. Conclusion: An appropriate health policy and strategy should be adopted to reduce the gender gap on LE and HLE in Oman.
