Differences in the percentage change in deaths and DALYs between 2000 and 2019 among 33 countries of The Americas, measured using the index of disparity.^a

Metric	Sex	Overall Change	Lower limit of sensitivity range	Upper limit of sensitivity range	Change (growth)	Change (aging)	Change (epi)
Deaths	Men	85.0	66.1	106.4	52.9	33.4	65.7
	Women	104.3	71.5	178.1	51.6	58.5	68.4
	Combined	92.6	67.9	131.2	52.2	44.5	65.7
DALYs	Men	56.8	51.1	75.1	52.9	27.4	69.8
	Women	59.6	52.9	84.7	51.6	39.8	67.0
	Combined	56.8	50.7	76.8	52.2	31.2	65.8

^aCalculation note: For each metric (percentage change in deaths or DALYs overall or due to population growth, population aging, epidemiologic change), the index of disparity (ID) presents the proportional difference between each country and the regional average. We use this to highlight the size of the between-country inequality in the Americas for each metric. For each country, $i$, ID is calculated as the sum of the absolute differences between country change $c_i$ and the regional change for the Americas $\mu$, divided by the regional rate $\mu$ and the number of countries, $\left(n-1\right)$. The full equation is calculated as: $ID=1/\left(n-1\right)\times \sum \left|r_i-\mu \right|/\mu \times 100$.
