Burden of disease is a measure of the years of healthy life lost from living with, or dying from disease and injury. The interactive data visualisations display burden estimates from the Australian Burden of Disease Study 2018: Impact and causes of illness and death in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Estimates for specific diseases and injuries for Australia are for the years 2003, 2011 and 2018.

There is also another interactive data set to explore: risk factor burden.
