Societal costs of iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA), vitamin A deficiency (VAD) and iodine deficiency (IoD) in 6–23-month-old children from Faisalabad and Hyderabad districts, Pakistan

				DALY (in 1000s)
	Production losses ($US, millions)			Current	Future	Mortality	Total
	Future	Mortality	Total	YLD	YLD	YLL	DALY
IDA	153	6	159	10	93	14	117
VAD	–	21	21	1	–	47	48
IoD	28	–	28	1	10	–	10
Total	182	27	209	11	103	61	175

YLD, years lived with disability; YLL, years of life lost.

The production losses and DALY do not overlap, hence reporting both does not lead to double counting^{( 46 , 47 )}. Future production losses occur during the future working life. Current DALY occur in the 6–23-month period.
