Answer 1

Answer is "her global burden of disease would be measured in DALYS and extended globally"

The DALY is based on the premise that the best approach for measuring the burden of disease is to use units of time. The DALY measures health gaps as opposed to health expectancies. It measures the difference between a current situation and an ideal situation where everyone lives up to the age of the standard life expectancy and in perfect health.
