From: Are China’s oldest-old living longer with less disability? A longitudinal modeling analysis of birth cohorts born 10 years apart

Fig. 1

Proportion of partial life expectancy in ages 80–89, 90–99, and 100–105 spent disability-free and ADL disabled life by 10-year birth cohorts. LE, life expectancy; ADL, activity of daily living. The height and area of each bar is proportional to the partial LE in ages 80–89, 90–99, and 100–105, and the differently shaded areas represent the distribution of the LE across disability-free and ADL disabled life. The bars do not necessarily reflect the ordering of these life-years by disability states, as individuals in our analysis can recover and relapse between disability states, so not all years of disability are spent at the end of life
