Years
Lost Due to
Disablity (YLD)
The Years Lost due to Disability are the number of years that a subject
life with some disease. It depends on the severity of the disability that
the disease causes to the affected individual. Chronic disease disables an
individual once disease is diagnosed, and the years that he or she lives
until death are the number of years lived with disability. The estimation
could help in viewing the disease impacts on populations.
