  • A positive change indicates an increase over time; a negative percentage indicates a decrease over time. Figures in bold indicate significant change in DALY rates between 1990 and 2013.

  • DALY, disability-adjusted life year; YLD, years lived with disability; YLL, years of life lost; UI, uncertainity interval.
