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.

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

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?

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