Health Adjustment Life Expectancy

Health Adjustment Life Expectancy (HALE) is a measure that combines life expectancy with the quality of health. It estimates the number of years a person can expect to live in good health, rather than just the total years of life. HALE takes into account the impact of diseases, disabilities, and health conditions, providing a clearer picture of not just how long people live, but how well they live. This measure helps public health officials understand the overall health of populations and allocate resources effectively to improve both longevity and quality of life.
