What is Cmnn disease?
Several major CMNN conditions—neonatal disorders, lower respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, HIV/AIDs, malaria, and tuberculosis—make up 71·5\% (71·4–72·9\%) of the CMNN DALYs in the poorest billion and 46·5\% (40·1–46·5\%) of the overall DALYs (Fig 3).
What is years lived with disability?
“Years lived with disability” (YLD) is a measure reflecting the impact an illness has on quality of life before it resolves or leads to death. YLDs account for the severity of a disability and are typically weighted so that young adult ages are valued higher than infants or the very elderly.

What is a disability weight?
Disability weights, which represent the magnitude of health loss associated with specific health outcomes, are used to calculate years lived with disability (YLD) for these outcomes in a given population. The weights are measured on a scale from 0 to 1, where 0 equals a state of full health and 1 equals death.
How do you read DALYs?
Mathematically, a DALY is represented by the equation DALY = YLL + YLD. YLL is calculated as the number of deaths (n) x the standard life expectancy at age of death (L1). This measures the reduction in life expectancy.
