Healthy Life Years
European structural indicator / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Healthy Life Years (HLY) indicator, also known as disability-free life expectancy (DFLE) or Sullivan's Index, is a European structural indicator computed by Eurostat. It is one of the summary measures of population health, known as health expectancies,[1] composite measures of health that combine mortality and morbidity data to represent overall population health on a single indicator.[2] HLY measures the number of remaining years that a person is expected to live at a certain age without the disability.
