Healthy life expectancy (HALE) at birth
The average number of years that a person can expect to live in “full health” from birth. Micronesia (Federated States of), both sexes, 2000 - 2019.
"Life expectancy" refers to the number of years a person can expect to live. It is an important way of assessing the health of a population and is used to inform health policy and initiatives that impact everyday life.
"Life expectancy at birth" is the average number of years that a newborn could expect to live, (the average age of death) while "Healthy life expectancy (HALE) at birth" is the average number of years that a person could expect to live in "full health"
from birth. This measurement takes into account years lived in less than full health due to disease and/or injury.
* The lack of complete and reliable mortality data, especially for low income countries and particularly on mortality among adults and the elderly, necessitates the application of modelling to estimate life expectancy. This may lead to minor differences
compared with official life tables prepared by Member States.
What is the difference between life expectancy and healthy life expectancy?

Understanding the reasons why people die helps with the understanding of how they lived, in order to improve health services and reduce preventable deaths in every country, responding effectively to changing circumstances. Annual monitoring of causes
of death allows countries to address their causes and adapt health systems to react effectively.
The leading causes of death are statistical estimates based on available data. These estimates are produced using data from multiple sources, including national vital registration data, latest estimates from WHO technical programmes, United
Nations partners and inter-agency groups, as well as the Global Burden of Disease and other scientific studies. Before publishing, they are reviewed by WHO Member States through consultation with national focal points and WHO country and regional
offices.
The top ten causes of death are statistical estimates based on available data. Death registration data is unavailable or unusable for Micronesia (Federated States of) due to quality issues. Estimates of mortality by cause should be interpreted with caution.
These estimates may be used for priority setting, however, they are not likely to be informative for policy evaluation or comparisons among countries.
