The result of
combining the use of age weights and discounting future health benefits is shown in this
figure. As we see, the effects of age-weighting and discounting are additive. In fact, if a 5 years old child dies, the resulting DALY score is lower than if a child
of 10 year dies! Similarly, if a person dies when he is 24 or if he dies when he is new
born, yields the same number of DALYs. |
