Health indicators
"If we want to understand the most important global health issues and what can be done to address them, then we must understand what factors have the most influence on health status, how health status is measured and what key trends in health status have occurred historically" (Skolnik, 2019).
Measuring and using a consistent set of indicators for health status help in making comparisons across people in the same country or across different countries. Through these data, we are able to know what health conditions people suffer, the burden of different diseases, and the effort that should be made in promoting quality of life, healthy behaviors, and healthy development across all life stages. (Skolnik, 2019)
