Burden of Disease: What does DALY Mean?

DALY's are a common term in the international development and global health community, but what is a DALY? How does it work? And what does it mean? In this short video we will introduce you to the concept.

This guy's voice makes me understand every single topic he explains. Thank you so much mister! I had to write an essay explaining difference between the percentage of death and DALYs percentage of certain regions around the world. I think I know what to write now.

How should I interpret for example: Depression has a total DALY of 4.46%?

Thank you so much. I have a report about the global burden of Diarrhea. You really helped me get ready to explain the DALY of it.

I hope you still look at comments for this video...
I've been trying to understand some data I've read on the WHO GHO database. And it shows deaths due to environmental burden as well as % of total burden. What exactly does % of total burden mean?

[@MAUDEVGA]

Thank you! I was looking for any example to explain it :)

[@ashshaikh987]

Love you!!!

[@racingblue4611]

Thanks

[@nl7247]

What if the reason of death is not the disease in interest, e.g. in the Africa example? Thank you.

[@elenakmetska8790]

if u were my prof i would never leave class

[@alicehollis8978]

Allversity , so the lower the DALY of a group, the healthier they tend to be?

[@kibromGideyy]

The word DALY is confusing. DALY vs DALY lost???. They could have used a simpler word.

[@ytjimmyd]

Given that a DALY is something bad to be minimized, doesn't each year of life lost count as 1, rather than 0? That's what I got from watching this: th-cam.com/video/06KZcHrtHww/w-d-xo.html
