Assessing alternative industrial fortification portfolios: A Bangladesh case study by Fiedler, John L., Lividini, Keith, Guyondet, Christophe, Bermudez, Odilia I.

“…Approximately 1.2 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) are lost annually in Bangladesh due to deficiencies of vitamin A, iron, and zinc.To provide evidence on the coverage, costs, and cost-effectiveness of alternative fortification interventions to inform nutrition policy-making in Bangladesh.Combining the 2005 Bangladesh Household Income and Expenditure Survey with a Bangladesh food composition table, apparent intakes of energy, vitamin A, iron, and zinc, and the coverage and apparent consumption levels of fortifiable vegetable oil and wheat flour are estimated. …”

Exante evaluation of nutrition and health benefits of biofortified cassava roots in nigeria: the dalys approach by Manyong, Victor M., Bamire, A., Sanusi, I., Awotide, D.

“…This paper presents results from an ex-ante evaluation of nutrition and health benefits of increased vitamin A status of cassava roots through biofortification for at-risk-target-groups using the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) approach. Results showed that Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) causes an annual loss of about 553,000 years of healthy life in Nigeria with children constituting more than forty percent. …”
