A positive change indicates an increase over time; a negative percentage indicates a decrease over time. Figures in bold indicate significant change in DALYs between 1990 and 2013.
DALYs, disability-adjusted life years; UI, uncertainty interval; YLD, years lived with disability; YLL, years of life lost.
