Abstract:
Health indicators of life expectancy are widely used to evaluate the overall health level of population or the disease burden in population. With the increase of the cohorts to which long-term follow-ups were made, more studies have explored the influencing factors of such indicators. This paper summarizes the commonly used indicators and their definitions, the basic principles of calculation, and the application of such indicators in the epidemiological studies of chronic diseases.
