Burden of disease attributable to leading risk factors for all Canadians in 2016 expressed as a percentage of (A) disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), (B) deaths and C) years lived with disability (YLDs). One DALY is equivalent to 1 year of healthy life (free of disease, injury or disability) that has been lost. The negative percentage for alcohol is the protective effect of mild alcohol use on risk of cardiometabolic disease.
