This document provides a detailed description of the methods used to derive the fatal and non-fatal burden of disease (using the disability-adjusted life years, years lived with disability and years of life lost measures) for the Australian population for 2015, 2011 and 2003, as well as estimates of how much of the burden can be attributed to various risk factors. This report is targeted at those seeking to further understand results provided in the Australian Burden of Disease Study 2015.

This accompanies the Australian Burden of Disease Study: impact and causes of illness and death in Australia 2015 report.
