Global and super-regional all-cause age-standardised DALY rates (A) and all-age DALY counts (B), for the past and for five future scenarios, 1990–2050

The dashed vertical line indicates the year 2022 (the first forecast year). The blue shading indicates the 95% uncertainty interval for the reference scenario. The five scenarios include the reference scenario, Safer Environment scenario, Improved Behavioural and Metabolic Risks scenario, Improved Childhood Nutrition and Vaccination scenario, and the combined scenario. Note different scales were used across each super-region so that change over time is more visible. DALY=disability-adjusted life-year.
