Definition

  • Active life expectancy (ALE), part of the family of health expectancies, is a summary measure of population health (SMPH) that combines mortality and morbidity in a single metric. ALE, sometimes called healthy active life expectancy (HALE, e.g., in the United Kingdom), combines mortality data with data on the performance of activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) in a single metric.
