Svg made with matplotlib for python. - Some studies use DALYs calculated to place greater value on a year lived as a young adult. This formula produces average values around age 10 and age 55, a peak around age 25, and lowest values among very young children and very old people. Comparable to Figure 3.1 in this WHO report . |
