The Human Development Index measures the average achievement in three key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, knowledge, and a decent standard of living.
The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) corresponds to the number of cases (expressed per 100,000 inhabitants) that would be recorded in a territory according to the incidence rate by sex and age specific to that territory and with the age structure of a standard or typical population.
