Trends in Healthy Life Expectancy (HALE) and Disparities by Income and Region in Korea (2008-2020): Analysis of a Nationwide Claims Database

Further exploration of the HALE calculation methodology may help in the development of effective policies such as prioritizing interventions for health risk factors.PMID:38374624 | PMC:PMC10876431 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e46
