Attributable burden across the life course
The health impacts due to risk factors vary by age and sex. Use the interactive graph to explore the contribution of leading risk factors to total burden (DALY), non-fatal burden (YLD) and fatal burden (YLL) in Australia by age and sex for the most recent year (2024).
Use the drop-down lists at the top of the visualisation to filter the data by measure, year and sex.

Hover over the coloured tiles on the chart for additional information.
The toolbar at the bottom of the visualisation enables users to interact with the data in different ways:
Undo = Undo the latest filter applied.
Redo = Redo the latest filter applied.
Revert = Clears all filters applied and reverts visualisation to default filters.
Refresh = Connects to the underlying data source and updates the visualisation with any changes in the data (not applicable to this visualisation).
Pause = Stops the visualisation from updating each time a filter is changed, enabling multiple filters to be changed at once. Clicking ‘Resume’ will update the visualisation according to the selected filters.
Download = Allows a downloadable file as either an image (PNG), PDF or PowerPoint file. This is a useful way to save a snapshot of the visualisation to include in a document or presentation.
Full screen = Displays the dashboard in full screen mode (press Esc to return to original view).
Share = Generates a link that can be shared (note that filters will not be applied when link is shared).
