Description

This table presents the burden of disease as measured in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). A DALY is a unit for measuring the amount of health lost because of a particular disease or injury. It is calculated as the present value of the future years of disability-free life that are lost as a result of the premature deaths or cases of disability occurring in a particular year.
