Decomposition analysis of the change of global years lived with disability (thousands) by level 1 causes from 1990 to 2010 into total population growth, population ageing, and changes in age-specifi c, sex-specifi c, and cause-specifi c years lived with disability rates

All causes Communicable,
maternal, neonatal, and
nutritional disorders		 Non-communicable
diseases		 Injuries
1990 YLDs (thousands) 583393 113925 435400 34068
YLDs expected with 2010 population, 1990 population age structure, and 1990 YLD rates (thousands) 759024 158213 557726 43084
YLDs expected with 2010 population, 2010 population age structure, and 1990 YLD rates (thousands) 822452 150982 621220 50250
2010 YLDs (thousands) 777401 119164 611076 47162
