Abstract :This research aims to analyze trends and changes in health status in Türkiye between 1990 and 2019. In this study, analyzing health status; disability-adjusted-life-years (DALY-disability-adjusted-life-years), years of life lost due to disability (YLD) and years of life lost due to premature death (YLL) metrics were used. In Turkey, between 1990 and 2019, age-standardized YLL for all causes decreased by 58.4% (95% UI: 50.9-64.5). While YLD rates decreased by 1.5% (95% UI: 0.99-3.86), DALY, which is the sum of YLL and YLD, decreased by 43.9% (95% UI: 37.5-49.7). 82% of total deaths from all causes in 2019 were caused by the 20 leading causes of death. Especially ischemic heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, COPD and Alzheimer\'s diseases constitute approximately 50% of deaths from all causes. Low back pain, depressive disorders, diabetes, and headache are the highest causes of YLD. Tobacco use is the first risk factor in men and the fourth in women.
