The average life expectancy for a woman in Japan is 87 years. Due to recent advances in testing for cervical cancer, there is an increase in life expectancy by 15 years. The healthcare utility value is 0.8. Which of the following can be calculated from the parameters given?

Options

1. HALE
2. DALY
3. DFLE
4. QALY

Correct Answer

QALY

Explanation

QALY (Quality-Adjusted Life Year) is calculated by multiplying the years of life gained by the quality of life (utility value). Here: 15 years × 0.8 = 12 QALYs. HALE and DFLE are different measures, and DALY measures disease burden.
