Percentage change in risk-attributable DALYs at the global level in 2007–17, due to population growth, population ageing, changes in exposure to Level 1 risk factors, and changes in risk-deleted DALY rates, for females, males, and both sexes

Results are shown for all causes combined, CMNNDs, NCDs, and injuries. The black dot on each bar shows total percentage change. The risk-deleted DALY rate is the expected DALY rate if the exposure level for all risk factors were reduced to the theoretical minimum risk exposure level. Changes in the risk-deleted rate might result from changes in risks and risk–outcome pairs that are not currently included in the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study or changes in other factors such as treatment. The change in CMNNDs and injuries due to metabolic risk exposure for both males and females is not zero but is too small to visualise because of the small number of risk–outcome pairs. CMNNDs=communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases. DALYs=disability-adjusted life-years. NCDs=non-communicable diseases.
