Figure 2. Total DALYs, crude DALY rates, and age-standardised DALY rates from 1990 to 2013.
Changes in global DALYs caused by communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional disorders, non-communicable diseases, and injuries shown in terms of numbers of DALYs (A), DALY rates per 100 000 people (B), and age-standardised DALY rates per 100 000 people (C). The difference in trends between A and B is caused by population growth and the difference between B and C because of changes in the percentage distribution of the population by age. Shaded areas show 95% uncertainty intervals. DALY=disability-adjusted life-years.
