This table presents disability-adjusted life year estimates, which combine years of life lost and years lived with disability.

Ranks are provided for level 2 causes of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) cause hierarchy, in descending order, with the leading cause being ranked number 1.

Represents level 3 causes of the GBD cause hierarchy.
