Premature death
Current Value
7,830
Definition
Years of potential life lost before age 75 per 100,000 population (age-adjusted).
Premature Mortality includes all deaths among people under age 75 and the rates are age-adjusted to the US 2000 population.
Each year represents a 3-year average around the middle year. (2015 is the middle of 2014-2016).
The most current data used for 2021 is from 2017-2019.
Story Behind the Curve
Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL) before age 75 per 100,000 population is a widely used measure of the rate and distribution of premature mortality. Measuring premature mortality, rather than overall mortality, which helps to focus attention on deaths that could have been prevented. YPLL emphasizes deaths of younger persons, whereas statistics that include all mortality are dominated by deaths of the elderly. For example, using YPLL-75, a death at age 55 counts twice as much as a death at age 65, and a death at age 35 counts eight times as much as a death at age 70.
