@entity66 is a major public health problem due to its prevalence in practically all age groups. This is a study of the overall burden of @entity1547 , @entity2520 . The Disability-Adjusted Life Year (DALY) indicator was used as it simultaneously measures the impact of mortality and of health problems that affect the quality of life. The overall burden of @entity66 was analyzed in absolute terms and in rates per 1000 inhabitants. The number of @entity717 ( @entity717 ) due to @entity1547 was 4,489. An estimated 33,888 @entity717 were lost due to edentulism, with a rate of 1.8/1000 (2.2/1000 among @entity1 ). An estimated 3217 @entity717 were lost due to @entity2520 , with a rate of 0.2/1000 for both sexes. Edentulism was the condition that contributed most to the overall burden of @entity66 and is more frequent among @entity1 . Higher rates of @entity2520 were found in @entity1 aged 45-69 years, while @entity1547 was more frequent from 15-49 years.
