Disability-adjusted life year

A Disability-Adjusted Life Year (DALY) is a way of measuring how long and how healthy a person's life is. It's like an official score that is given out to a person based on how healthy and long their life is. The score takes into account things like physical and mental health, as well as life expectancy. The higher the score, the longer and healthier someone's life is. DALYs help us measure how well someone is doing, so doctors and scientists can compare how well different people are doing.
