Definition
The average number of years that a person can expect to live in "full health" by taking into account years lived in less than full health due to disease and/or injury. Figures increasing over time demonstrate progress in national health systems. Healthy life expectancy (HALE) at birth adds up expectation of life for different health states, adjusted for severity distribution making it sensitive to changes over time or differences between countries in the severity distribution of health states. Comments Because these estimates draw on new data and on the results of the GBD 2010 study, and there have been substantial revisions to methods for many causes, and to the methods for dealing with comorbidity, these HALE estimates for the years 2000-2012 are not directly comparable with previous WHO estimates of HALE for earlier years.
