One way to calculate the burden of early death is by measuring the number of years between a person’s age at death and a standard age at death (75 years). This is called estimating the years of potential life lost (YPLL). For example, a person dying at age 21 would result in 54 years of potential life lost, compared to a person dying at age 70, which would result in five years of potential life lost.
Why is this important?
Similar to life expectancy, YPLL is a good measure of the overall health of an area.
