where L (M ) AA , death, exp . is the number of years lost due to event(i)
mortality,calculated as the difference between the age at death
and life expectancy.6 L (M ) AA , death, exp requires not only information on the number of people who died M ( ), but also the vectors of their age profile ( Adeath), and the projected life expectancy for each
individual (Aex ) p . For life expectancy,we follow the WHO’s aroach
in measuring DALYs.The WHO uses a uniform life expectancy of
92 years(A 92 m for all exp = ). This number or iginates from projections made by the United Nations
regarding the likely average life
expectancy at birth in the year 2050 [13]. The rationale for using
this value for life expectancy,and one that is uniform across
countries, is that the number represents a viable estimate of the
possible frontier of human longevity in the foreseeable future.7
