    (INCE, 2017) Gagauz, Olga; Avram, Cristina; Pahomii, Irina
    Given the rapid increase in the number and share of the elderly in the total population, good health and healthy ageing are an important factor in the socio-economic development of ageing societies. Selfperceived health is one of the most important health and well-being indicators. The article presents the results of research on self-perceived elderly health based on data from "Household Budget Survey" for 2006-2015 (NBS). The study reveals a slow increase in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy, as well as time spent in good health. The life expectancy without chronic illness is lower than healthy life expectancy. There is a positive rise in the self-assessment of the elderly for both sexes and at different ages after 60 years. The regression analysis of factors influencing self-perceived health (age, sex, education level, welfare level, degree of disability and civil status), demonstrates that among the most important factors with which self-responding health is associated, as bad and very bad were highlighted the low level of education and material welfare, as well as the presence of behavioural vices (smoking).
