Ringkasan	The disability-adjusted life year, or DALY, is the central metric of the global burden of disease, expressing the total health loss from a disease, injury, or risk factor as a single time-based number. One DALY is one healthy year of life lost. The metric, developed by Christopher Murray and elaborated with Alan Lopez in the 1990s, combines two distinct kinds of loss on a common scale: the years of life lost when people die earlier than a reference life expectancy, and the years of healthy life lost when people live with illness or disability rather than in full health. By weighting time lived in poor health by its severity and adding it to time lost to premature death, the DALY makes it possible to compare conditions as different as a fatal cancer and a chronic non-fatal disease, and to rank causes of ill health across populations in a way mortality statistics alone cannot.	The abridged life table is the workhorse of demography and population health for summarizing the mortality experience of a population in a single, age-grouped table. Instead of a single-year (complete) life table, it works on broad age intervals — typically <1, 1-4, then five-year groups up to an open-ended oldest interval — which makes it robust when deaths or populations in single years of age are sparse or noisy. The construction propagates a small set of inputs, the age-specific death rates nMx, through a chain of columns: the probability of dying nqx, the survivors lx, the deaths ndx, the person-years lived nLx and Tx, and finally life expectancy ex. Chiang's 1984 treatment supplied the standard estimator and the fraction-of-interval term ax that controls how person-years are allocated within each interval, while Preston, Heuveline and Guillot's 2001 textbook codified the modern pipeline used across demography and epidemiology.
