Health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) provides a measure of both longevity and health status of Canadians, offering a more complete picture of population health than life expectancy alone. Estimates are now available for 2019, 2020 and 2023. Results show that in 2023, HALE at birth was 66.9 years, nearly two years lower than in 2019 and 2020. In 2023, HALE at age 65 years was 15.3 years and remained relatively stable since 2019.
