Regional years of life lost, years lived with disability, and disability-adjusted life-years for severe mental disorders in Guangdong Province, China: a real-world longitudinal study

Table 3 Change in absolute DALY^a numbers and age-standardized^b rates (per 100,000) for patients with severe mental disorders in Guangdong, China, between 2010 and 2020, by economic region

Region	2010 DALYs (95% UI^c)		2020 DALYs (95% UI)		Change in absolute numbers due to population growth (%)	Change in absolute numbers due to changing age structure (%)	Overall change 2010–2020 (%)^*
Region	Numbers	Age-standardized rates (per 100,000)	Numbers	Age-standardized rates (per 100,000)	Change in absolute numbers due to population growth (%)		Overall change 2010–2020 (%)^*
Greater Bay Area^d	361,861 (242,732, 577,665)	672.71 (443.25, 1083.01)	690,627 (467,967, 1,086,208)	1111.83 (744.26, 1756.92)	39.96	39.87	65.28
North Guangdong^e	25,151 (16,785, 40,093)	191.94 (125.88, 308.49)	110,862 (74,568, 175,859)	798.00 (529.72, 1271.96)	76.32	76.29	315.75
West Guangdong^f	27,233 (18,065, 43,488)	161.55 (105.22, 260.33)	85,177 (57,026, 135,743)	467.62 (309.25, 748.89)	65.79	65.75	189.47

^aDALY: disability-adjusted life-years, for which comorbidity-adjusted estimates were reported;
^bEstimated values for age-standardized rates were calculated based on the Chinese population reported by the GBD 2019 [31]
^cUI: uncertainty interval
^dGreater Bay Area: including Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhaoqing, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Huizhou, Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Jiangmen
^eNorth Guangdong region: referring to Shaoguan, Qingyuan, Meizhou, Heyuan
^fWest Guangdong region: referring to Zhanjiang, Yangjiang, Maoming, and Yunfu
^gEast Guangdong region: referring to Chaozhou, Shantou, Jieyang, and Shanwei
^*DALY rates are age-standardized and sex-standardized so change in rates reflects changes in factors related to prevalence rates in addition to population growth and age structure
