Taking multi-morbidity into account when attributing DALYs to risk factors: comparing dynamic modeling with the GBD2010 calculation method

Table 2 Years Lost to Disability (YLD; in thousands) calculated with the GBD2010 method and with DYNAMO-HIA. The latter is calculated as DALY minus YLL. Both with realistic data (Illustration case) and with artificial data

^athe risk factor exposure and relative risks are the same for all ages, and the population is stable over time
