Table 5. Life expectancy (LE)* of the general population and by diagnostic group for men and women at age 70 years and 75 years.

Years of life lost (YLL) is the difference in LE between the general population and the diagnostic groups (presented with 95% confidence intervals,95% CI). N = 4,689. Modelled using flexible parametric models.

*LE for year 2016. In this analysis VaD and DLB/PDD was collapsed due to similar mortality pattern and due to small size of these groups.
