Sullivan's method is used to calculate:

• A Crude death rate adjusted for age
• B Standardized mortality ratio
• C Net reproduction rate
• D Disability-free life expectancy ✓

Explanation

Sullivan's method calculates health expectancy, specifically disability-free life expectancy, by combining mortality data from life tables with morbidity data from cross-sectional surveys. It subtracts the expected years lived with disability from total life expectancy. This method is used to estimate Healthy Life Expectancy (HALE) and is simpler than multi-state life table methods.
