Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Given that both individuals are expected to live 15 more quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), and considering their ages, Terry, being 62 and expected to live 15 more QALYs, suggests a higher than average health status for her age, as it implies living to 77 with good quality of life. Alex, at 52, also having 15 QALYs, does not necessarily indicate an unusual health status given his age. The statement about Terry having perfect health is the most likely true statement, as it explains why her expected QALYs are relatively high for her age.
