Murray and Lopez chose to apply a 3% time discount rate to the years of life lost in the future to estimate the net present value of years of life lost in calculating DALYs. Based on a number of studies that suggest the existence of a broad social preference to value a year lived by a young adult more highly than a year lived by a young child or an older person, Murray also incorporated nonuniform age weights. When discounting and age weighting are both applied, a death in infancy corresponds to 33 DALYs, while deaths at ages 5 to 20 equate to around 36 DALYs (Figure 2).
