Healthy Life Years (HLY), also known as Disability-Free Life Expectancy (DFLE) or Active Life Expectancy, is a health indicator that measures the number of years a person can expect to live without serious health issues or disabilities. Unlike traditional measures of life expectancy, which only account for the total number of years lived, HLY focuses on the quality of those years, emphasizing the period of life spent in good health.
