Table 2 Case burdens of different health responses. Case burden is calculated as the product of disease-specific disability weights and disease durations
Response | DALYs per case | Description |
|---|---|---|
Tooth defect | 0–0.12 | disability weight 0.001 and duration 60 a (years) with 100% uncertainty. For comparison, IHME gives disability weight 0 for asymptomatic caries and 0.006 for mild other oral disorders with symptoms [43]. |
Cancer | 19.7 (17.8–21.8) | based on breast cancer, from IHME [44] |
Vitamin D intake | 0.0001–0.01 | disability weight 0.001 and duration 1 a with 100-fold log-uniform uncertainty |
TWI 2001 | 0.0001–0.01 | disability weight 0.001 and duration 1 a with 100-fold log-uniform uncertainty |
TWI 2018 | 0.0001–0.01 | disability weight 0.001 and duration 1 a with 100-fold log-uniform uncertainty |
Infertility | 0–5 | disability weight 0.1 and duration 50 a with 100% uncertainty. See also text. Here we used a clearly higher disability weight than IHME (0.008) [43]. |
Child’s IQ | 0.11 (95% CI 0.06–0.16) | Mild intellectual disability (IQ < 70) has disability weight 0.043 (95% CI 0.026–0.064) based on IHME [43]. This is scaled to one IQ point with duration 75 a. |
