The disability adjusted life year (DALY) is used to measure the state of health of a population and, together with the concept of cost-effectiveness, to judge which interventions to improve health deserve the highest priority for action. The disability adjusted life year is the only quantitative indicator of burden of disease that reflects the total amount of healthy life lost, to all causes, whether from premature mortality or from some degree of disability during a period of time. 4, record 1, English, - disability%2Dadjusted%20life%20year
