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.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> 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. So, it needs to be developed as the tools of monitoring and evaluation system, and planning specifically and continuously.</p> ER -
