Abstract		The BoD concept is used in examining health issues internationally from the perspective of determining cost-effective interventions and priority setting for resource allocation. The DALY has emerged as a measure of the BoD in early 1990-ties. DALYs for a disease or health condition are calculated as the sum of the Years of Life Lost (YLL) due to premature mortality and the Years Lost due to Disability (YLD) of the health condition of less than full health.
