Consider a five-year-old girl with a below-knee amputation after an accident with landmines. DALYs measure life years lost multiplied with a disability weight, multiplied with an age weight a1, multiplied with a discounting factor d2 (3 % for each year). The estimated DALY loss would be 77.5 (82.5 - 5) years multiplied with 0.3 and adjusted with age weights and the discounting factor which give an estimated 10.5 disability adjusted life years lost.
