Global data on the health burden of foodborne diseases, measured in Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) for all ages. The dataset is published by the World Health Organization (WHO) via its Global Health Observatory (GHO) platform. Its specific temporal coverage and update frequency are not provided in the available metadata.
Use Cases
