What are key health status indicators?Show answer
Life expectancy is the average number of years a person can expect to live, and it is the broadest summary of population health. Mortality refers to death rates, often expressed per 100,000 people and sometimes broken down by cause, while infant mortality (deaths in the first year of life) is a sensitive marker of a population's overall conditions. Morbidity refers to rates of illness, injury and disability in a population.
