4.1.2 Pattern of Years Lost due to Disability (YLD) by age in 2015.

Overall, 47.7 % of total YLD were contributed by productive age 15 to 49 years old [(19.7 % for young
adult and 28.0 % for older adult)]. Pre-elderly age group (50 to 59 years old) contributed towards
14.7% of total YLD. Among male, 48.4% of total YLD were contributed by productive age (15 to 49
years old), compared to female as 46.8% (Figure 4.2).
