AI Article Synopsis
- - The Asia-Pacific region is diverse and populous, featuring both the highest and lowest life expectancies, yet there is limited information on health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) in this area.
- - A recent study revealed significant variations in HALE across the region in 2021, with HALE ranging from 49.87 years in Afghanistan to 74.96 years in Singapore, and different countries showing unique trends over the years.
- - The findings underscore the need for collaborative efforts among countries to improve health outcomes, as countries with higher socio-demographic indices (SDIs) tend to have better HALE trends.
Article Abstract
What Is Already Known About This Topic?: The Asia-Pacific region is the most populous and diverse globally, encompassing nations with both the longest and shortest life expectancies (LE). However, less is known about the health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) situation in this region.
What Is Added By This Report?: This study found diversity in the levels and trends of HALE among countries in the Asia-Pacific region, with HALE in 2021 ranging from 49.87 years in Afghanistan to 74.96 years in Singapore. The largest HALE increase from 1990 to 2021 was observed in the Lao People's Democratic Republic and the smallest in Fiji. HALE continually increased as SDI increased, but different patterns of HALE across countries varied by SDI level.
What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?: The diversity among these countries provides a prerequisite and scientific basis for promoting the achievement of health goals in the Asia-Pacific region through multilateral and bilateral cooperation.
