For a population (average over illness/disease), not individual, how is a DALY calculated? Is it:
DALY= YLL + YLD or DALY= YLL* (a factor) + YLD * (another factor) ?
Also, are communicalbe diseases meant to be lifestyle/ curable diseases? If so, what about blood contracted viruses, eg. HIV?
Also Global burden of disease... our teacher hasn't explained it very much. How is it measured? Is it an average of all burden of disease statistics? If so, would countries with long socio-economic status lower the Global burden of disease?
Thanx
