2. Increased Life Expectancy: An increase in average life expectancy reflects improved public health outcomes and effective disease prevention strategies.
3. Healthcare Cost Savings: Long term benefits also translate into economic savings, as reduced disease burden lowers healthcare costs and increases productivity.
