<![CDATA[Introduction: The Healthy Adjusted Life Expectancy Index (HALE) for 2019 for the Indonesian population is 62.8 years lower than the 71.3 years for standard life expectancy; this is due to the lack of quality of life in Indonesia. The profile of the population in Central Java for the elderly category every year is similar to the increase on a national scale. The fact that the elderly are still working to earn a living indicates that their welfare level is still low.
