In particular, the obtained factors were accounted for 75.7 percentage of the health-related SDGs which predicted to LE and HALE at 86.8 and 88.1 percentage respectively.

Conclusion: This study could indicate the development status and make use of revising and inspecting, priority setting, prediction and integration with multi-transdisciplinary for the health and national development to meet the targeting efficiently.
