Own calculations based on Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 data. DALYs: disability-adjusted life years; LMIC: low- and middle-income countries; HIC: high-income countries; IRF: income relation factor, ratio of DALYs per 100,000 inhabitants in LMIC versus HIC; Disease Type Ia: strongly affluence-related diseases; Ib: moderately affluence related; Ic: unrelated to the level of economic development; II: moderately poverty related; III: strongly poverty related. In brackets, the 95% uncertainty interval is given, based on GBD 2010 figures. For details, please refer to the methodological appendix.
