Habibzadeh said his office had introduced change of the health category as a DALY index and the WHO confirmed the idea.
The disability-adjusted life year (DALY) is a measure of overall disease burden, expressed as the number of years lost due to ill-health, disability or early death. It was developed in the 1990s as a way of comparing the overall health and life expectancy of different countries.
