Abstract

Health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE), measures the overall health of a population by adjusting life expectancy for years lived with disability. HALE allows for monitoring changes of population health over time, by providing a measure of the number of healthy years expected for different age groups. HALE calculations require data on morbidity, but even though high quality data sources are crucial for estimations of population health, such sources are not available for all countries, specifically in lower income regions [1].
