During this period of drastic average life expectancy increase between 2000 to 2019 alone, healthy life expectancy (HALE) experienced an 8% increase, moving from 58.3 in 2000 to 63.7 in 2019. Notably, this rise in HALE by 5.4 years primarily resulted from a decline in mortality rates rather than a reduction in years lived with disability. In essence, while life expectancy increased by 6.6 years, the augmentation in HALE did not quite keep pace with this trajectory.
