While DALYs are a powerful tool, they have some limitations:
Data Quality: Accurate calculation of DALYs requires high-quality data, which may not be available in all regions. Disability Weights: Assigning disability weights can be subjective and may not reflect cultural differences in the perception of disability. Age Weighting and Discounting: The use of age weighting and discounting in DALY calculations can be controversial and may introduce bias.
