Key Points

Assess 24-year temporal trends and sex-specific differences in disability-adjusted life years, years lived with disability, and years of life lost attributable to infectious diseases in Afghanistan.
Extracted epidemiological metrics from the Global Burden of Disease 2023 study covering 1999 through 2023.
Modeled sex-stratified trends in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and years of life lost (YLLs) across infectious disease categories.
Characterized multi-decade shifts in fatal and nonfatal infectious disease burden from 1999 to 2023.
Identified distinct sex disparities in health loss metrics, reflecting differential mortality and morbidity risks between males and females over the study period.

Implication

Epidemiological analysis reveals temporal trends and sex differences in infectious disease burden in Afghanistan, highlighting shifting disease dynamics and ongoing public health priorities.
