Description

Sheridan Rodda and four co-authors wrote a 2025 study on how healthy life years are spread across Australia. Fair cost studies need a base map of health by social group. The team set out to build that map, split by wealth level, sex, age, and how remote a place is.

The team mixed death records for 2022 with survey data on quality of life. They found clear gaps from birth. People in the poorest group could expect 78.7 years of life, against 86.3 years in the richest group. Quality of life scores then turned raw years into healthy years for each group. The map gives policy makers a base for judging whether a new health plan narrows or widens the gap between groups.
