Frequently Asked Questions
DALY stands for Disability-Adjusted Life Year. It is a metric that quantifies the burden of disease by combining years of life lost due to premature mortality and years lived with disability.
Cases are calculated as Population multiplied by Prevalence (as a percentage). For example, a population of 1,000,000 with a prevalence of 5% yields 50,000 cases.
Disability weights range from 0 (perfect health) to 1 (death). Common surgical conditions have weights between 0.1 and 0.6. Consult the Global Burden of Disease study for specific values.
