Short summary

Globally, life expectancy at birth rose by 7.4 years between 1990 and 2017, but healthy life expectancy (HALE) increased by only 6.3 years, meaning more years are being lived in poor health. The proportion of additional years lived in poor health varied dramatically by country, from less than 20% to 100%.
