Percentages for Prevalence, DALYs, and YLDs were calculated based on specific denominators corresponding to each health metric in 2019. The prevalence percentage represents the proportion of cases out of a total prevalence of 311,050,916. Similarly, the DALY percentage is derived from a denominator of 111,074,469, while the YLD percentage is calculated based on a denominator of 53,316,827.
Abbreviations: DALY, disability-adjusted life year; YLD, years of life lost to disability; STI, sexually transmitted disease; TB, tuberculosis; NTD, neglected tropical disease.
