Leading 20 Level 3 causes of global YLLs for 1990, 2007, and 2017 with percentage change in number of YLLs, in all-age and age-standardised rates for both sexes combined
Causes are connected by lines between time periods; solid lines are increases and dashed lines are decreases. For the time period 1990–2007 and for 2007–17, three measures of change are shown: percentage change in the number of YLLs, percentage change in the all-age YLL rate, and percentage change in the age-standardised YLL rate. Communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases are shown in red, non-communicable causes in blue, and injuries in green. Statistically significant changes are shown in bold. COPD=chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. YLLs=years of life lost.
