3 - Residents under 15 years divided by residents aged 15-64 years
4 - Residents 65 years & above divided by residents aged 15-64 years

6 - LE data from DOS (Department of Statistics, Singapore) and GBD are not directly comparable due to differences in methodology. In addition, DOS’s LE data are based on the resident population (i.e., Singapore citizens and permanent residents) while LE data from GBD are based on the total population (i.e., residents and foreigners).The difference between GBD’s LE and HALE is the number of years on average a person lives in less than full health. DOS’ LE should not be used for this comparison.
