Medicine and Health Sciences
Health in general, physical health, and life expectancy play an important part in the assessment of a person’s happiness; these are medical concepts which allow the determination of a person’s quality of living, as well as their overall corporal well-being.

Physical health plays an essential role in an individual’s happiness due to biological factors (e.g. hormones released) that have been quantifiably proven to correlate with improved emotions and mental health. Life expectancy is linked to physical health, for when one has poor physical health, life expectancy is shortened. Therefore, the WHR considers life expectancy and physical health as evidence of the level of one’s happiness.

Evidence on life expectancy is taken from the World Health Organisation, which defines life expectancy as the ‘average number of years that a new-born could expect to live’. If one has a longer life expectancy, the likelihood for the person to be happy also increases. Evidence in life expectancy incorporates both quantitative and qualitative elements such as documentation of birth mortality in hospitals and oral accounts provided through census. , while evidence for physical health is primarily based on qualitative observation, through simply looking at a person and evaluating their actions.

An important factor that determines physical health and life-expectancy is the healthcare system; an adequate healthcare system is required to constantly monitor a citizen’s physical well-being.

Plan: Intro - health is important, physical, mental etc Main measure used in WHR is Healthy LE - data acquired from WHO - who define HLE as .... Being healthy enables us to enjoy other aspects of life... work, earn, take care of others.. for longer.. therefore important Evidence in WHR shows that diff in avg score between top 10 and bottom 10 is 4.16 points. Of 2.96points attributed to the 6 key factors, WHR estimates that 0.62 = ~20% can be attributed to HLE, highlighting importance
