[a] Global burden of disease is measured by DALYs, disability-adjusted
life years. Each DALY indicates the loss of a year of healthy life
– that is, time lived with a disability or time lost through
premature death.
[b] The percentages reflect how important environmental factors are
in causing the burden of a disease and indicate how much their control
would contribute to its reduction.
[c] Global burden of disease in children associated with environmental
exposures in this disease category, measured by DALY.
[d] The burden of each disease associated with environmental exposures,
as a percentage of the global burden of all diseases.
[e] Percentage numbers in this row are not the sum of respective column. |
