Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question is asking for two types of life years that Marv can expect to have fewer of than his actual life expectancy. The options are disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Option C, disability and quality, is the only one that correctly identifies both types of life years. Option A, disability and satisfaction, only identifies one type of life year and is therefore incorrect. Option B, quality and disability, correctly identifies QALYs, but not DALYs. Option D, satisfaction and quality, only identifies one type of life year and is therefore incorrect.
