The chart shows age-standardized rates of years lived with disability (YLDs) from headaches per 100,000 people, by country. Headaches include migraines and tension-type headaches.
YLDs quantify the health loss experienced while in a symptomatic state by multiplying one-year prevalence by proportion of time in symptomatic state and the associated disability weight.
