Disease burden from communicable, maternal, neonatal & nutritional diseases by age, World, 1990 to 2017

Disease burden from communicable, maternal, neonatal and nutritional diseases by age. Disease burden is measured in DALYs (Disability-Adjusted Life Years).
DALYs are used to measure total burden of disease - both from years of life lost and years lived with a disability. One DALY equals one lost year of healthy life.
