As shown in Figure 3, in 1999, gastroesophageal and liver cancer, lung cancer and chronic respiratory diseases were the leading contributors to GGLE, accounting for over 70% of total contribution. Though gastroesophageal and liver cancer and chronic respiratory diseases remained the leading contributors, the contribution decreased. However, lung cancer made a greater contribution of 0.88 years to GGLE in 1999, compared with 0.52 years in 1973, with an excess of 0.36 years. In addition, communicable diseases fell out of the top three to make positive contribution to GGLE.
