global burden of disease (gbd) study

What Metrics are Used in the GBD Study?

The GBD Study uses multiple metrics to measure disease burden, including:
Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs): A composite measure that combines years of life lost due to premature death and years lived with disability.
Years of Life Lost (YLLs): Measures the number of years lost due to early death.
Years Lived with Disability (YLDs): Estimates the years spent in less than full health.
Prevalence and Incidence: Indicators of how widespread and frequent diseases and conditions are.
