Image "Disability-adjusted life year for endocrine disorders per 100,000 inhabitants in 2002".

I do like this image as it speaks to the prevalence of endocrine disorders worldwide. This could be a lead into expected increases of autoimmune diseases such as those included in the "Disease" section. Additionally, this image could lead into the discussion on how these disorders typically affect more women than men (insertion of another graphic). This image is not discussed in the context to disease; it's addition could be confusing to the reader. Adding textual support for this image could help develop this article further. I think the addition of such images could be influential in the development of the article if supporting evidence is further added. -erikareneej1998

Hi erikareneej1998, I think that you are quite right that this picture will be incomprehensible for many readers. I have just created the article Daly rates, and if it doesn't get deleted, I can use that and write some text for the picture. So I'll be coming back to this a couple of days from now.

I have now given this image its own section and an explanation. Lova Falk (talk) 17:55, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
