Unsafe sanitation

 

We measure unsafe sanitation using the number of age-standardized disability-adjusted life-years lost per 100,000 persons (DALY rate) due to their exposure to inadequate sanitation facilities. A score of 100 indicates a country has among the lowest DALY rates in the world (≤5th-percentile), while a score of 0 indicates a country is among the highest (≥95th-percentile). Data for this indicator come from the  Institute for Health Metrics & Evaluation’s (IHME) Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study.
