Comparison of assumptions with respect to the dynamic modelling of demography and the cohort effect. The estimated annual burden of HAV in the Netherlands (in DALYs per year) for acute infections occurring in the years 2000 (upper panel) and 2030 (lower panel) is shown, according to three model variants: (i) dynamic demography and cohort effect; (ii) steady state demography and cohort effect, (iii) dynamic demography and no cohort effect. Note the difference in scale on y-axis.
