Disability-adjusted life years attributed to nutritional deficiencies (DALYs/100,000)
Definition
Disability-adjusted life years attributed to nutritional deficiencies combines the number of years lost due to premature deaths and due to time lived in states of less than full health in the population. This indicator is a marker of nutritional deficiency burden to the population health and well-being.
Interpretation
Higher values for this indicator point to a higher burden of nutritional deficiency in population health and, consequently, to a lower sustainability of the food system nutritional aspect.
