      abstract     = {The aim of our study is to test the theories of compression
                      or expansion of morbidity on the basis of data on the
                      elderly population of Austria. Our data come from four
                      microcensus surveys for the years 1978, 1983, 1991, and
                      1998. We use self-perceived health ratings to calculate
                      healthy-life expectancy for the elderly population aged
                      60–89. Because our data are based on four cross-sectional
                      surveys, we devote the first part of the paper to the
                      consequences of possible sampling and non-sampling errors in
                      our analysis of time trends. We come to the conclusion that,
                      although the absolute number of years lived in good health
                      may be overestimated, the time trend in healthy-life
                      expectancy over the 20 years most probably is unbiased. The
                      second part of the paper describes trends in healthy-life
                      expectancy for the Austrian population. Our results suggest
                      that both healthy-life expectancy and the ratio of healthy
                      years to life expectancy increased between 1978 and 1998.
                      Thus, in Austria ill health seems to be more and more
                      compressed into the later years of life. Contrary to
                      Fries’s hypothesis, however, life expectancy does not seem
                      to be approaching a maximum average life span in Austria, as
                      mortality rates at older ages have been continuously
                      decreasing over the last 20 years.},
