Abstract
In this report, we use Monte Carlo simulations to estimate the confidence limits for survival and death probabilities, life expectancy, and healthy life expectancy, as well as any other quantity based on a conventional life table or on Sullivan’s healthy life table. Two Excel spreadsheets for use with this method are provided.
