The document defines and compares several health indicators:
- Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALY) measures the burden of diseases on populations by combining mortality and morbidity.
- Disability-Adjusted Life Expectancy (DALE) assesses quality of life with disability by adding years lived with disability to life expectancy.
- Disability-Free Life Expectancy (DFLE) measures years lived without disability by subtracting years with disability from life expectancy.
- Healthy Life Expectancy (HALE) represents the number of years expected to be lived in full health by accounting for both mortality and morbidity.
