    AbstractUsing the method of multistate life-tables, the article presents results on active life expectancy on the basis of the German Socio-Economic Panel Survey (SOEP). Different determinants of mortality and morbidity are revealed by event-history analysis. Results show that men live a greater proportion of their lives without disability than do women. Results on the association between mortality/morbidity and socio-economic factors suggest that studies which usually focussed either on mortality or on morbidity cannot fully explain differences in active life expectancy.
