Abstract
The purposes of this were to study the health adjusted life expectancy (HALE) of people in health region 3, 2022, and prioritize diseases and health hazards that are important problems in health region 3. The cross-sectional study design was used. A sample of 1,230 Thai people aged 10 and over in the responsible area of health region 3, were randomly selected using a multistage sampling technique. The EQ-5D-5L Thai Version is composed of Mobility Self-care Usual activities Pain/discomfort, and Anxiety/drepression. The Sullivan method was used to analyze the data. For priority diseases and health hazards problems in health region 3, data was collected by the priority setting methods were seven components of the World Health Organization. From the committee of the health region 3. The results revealed that the HALE of people in health region 3, 2022 was 65.16 years. Lower than the Thailand target set by at least 68 years. The self-care dimension had the greatest effect on utility scores. Health status at best scores 48.94% and lowest score 0.08%. The priority diseases and health hazards that are important problems in health region 3, showed that the top three were stroke, ischemic heart disease, and road traffic injuries. Further research should be recommended to determine the model or approach to increasing HALE. as well as developing policies and measures to solve disease and health hazards and allocating sufficient resources to lead to more effective and efficient implementation.
