  In this paper we explore the very important case of finding a health measure
in the lines of the survival curve but independent of the standard deviation
parameter. This is done by estimating the health state curve and calculating
the total area under the curve. An interesting comparison with the survival
curves is done. The health status measure (HSM or HS) resulting is of the form
of the life expectancy (LE) as it is expressed in terms of years of age. The HS
is independent of the standard deviation. When a perfect rectangularization of
the survival curve appear, the LE is equal to the age where the health state
curve approaches zero. The provided HS form gives rise to an interesting
classification of various countries. The results are close to those obtained by
the LE estimator with an interesting reorganization of country ranking. We also
provide illustrations of our estimated Health Status along with comparative
presentations of the Healthy Life Expectancy and the HALE measures in several
countries. Theoretical issues are provided and important stochastic simulations
are done along with reproduction of the death probability density forms.
