- Authors
Rubo, Marius; Czuppon, Peter
- Abstract
The population YLL value of the disease is then computed by averaging the calculated YLL values of all deaths attributed to that specific disease. We would like to comment on the interpretation of I years of life lost i (YLL) values [[1]] which are a widely used metric to quantify the burden of mortality resulting from different risk factors.
