Daly combines information about morbidity and mortality and is expressed in terms of numbers of healthy years lost. The young/daly formula provides an approximation of the optimal checkpointing period for a parallel application executing on a supercomputing platform… Daly combines information about morbidity and mortality and is expressed in terms of numbers of healthy years lost
In the daly approach, each state of health is assigned a disability weighting on a scale from zero. This indicator can provide a quantitative measure of the decrease as life length and degradation of life quality after the outbreak of specific diseases (miquel and huertas, 2006). Disability adjusted life years (dalys) is defined as a measure that captures both years of potential life lost due to fatal diseases or conditions and years lost to disability from nonfatal diseases, conditions, or injuries
Daly is a useful indicator for quantifying disease burden by taking “time” as a unit
