Title

+ The original author did not specify a license.

Abstract

This layer represents the percentage of total Disability-Adjusted Life Year attributable to hepatitis A for 15-49 year-old males in 2015.
One DALY can be thought of as one lost year of "healthy" life. The sum of DALYs across a population help to quantify the burden of disease, and to evaluate the gap between current health status and an ideal health situation. Data for other age ranges are also available in the table.

Estimates and additional related resources can be found in the Global Burden of Study here: http://ghdx.healthdata.org/gbd-2015
