      abstract = {This book provides new theoretic and applied material with  focus on quantitative methods and data analysis techniques  applied in demography, population studies, health issues  and statistics. It discusses the quantitative techniques to  estimate the healthy life expectancy by expanding the  classical life tables to include the proportion with  disability calculated from life tables, along with the  Sullivan method. The provided templates apply immediately  to the life tables from WHO, HMD, Eurostat and other life  table providers. Furthermore, the book explores the  possibility of creating new health indicators along with  Covid-19 pandemic management, factors associated to  loneliness and an alcohol indicator. Part of the book is  devoted to mortality, epidemic models, and the  supercentenarians age estimation. Data analysis and  artificial intelligence methods are included to apply in  demographic and socio-economic cases. By providing a  methodology to cope with health problems in demography and  society by quantifying important health parameters, this  book is a valuable guide for researchers, theoreticians,  and practitioners from various disciplines and especially  health scientists, statisticians, economists, and  sociologists.},
