Year Lost Due to Disability (YLD)
A measure of how many healthy years of life are lost due to illness, injury or disability.
Years of Life Lost (YLL)
A measure of how many years of expected life are lost due to premature death.
Maternal Mortality

Under 5 Mortality Rate

Life Expectancy
A measure of how many years a person can expect to live if death rates do not change.
Infant Mortality Rate
The rate of deaths of infants between birth and their first birthday, usually expressed per one thousand live births.
Health Adjusted Life Expectancy (HALE)
It is the number of years in full health that a person can expect to live, based on current rates of ill health and mortality.
Morbidity
Refers to ill-health in an individual and the levels of ill-health in a population or group.
Health Status Indicators
An individual's or a population's overall health taking into account life expectancy, amount of disability, and levels of disease risk factors.
Infirmity
The quality or state of being weak or ill; often associated with old age.
Illness
A subjective concept related to the personal experience of a disease or injury.
Communicable Diseases
