Years of Potential Life Loss

Definition: Premature death refers to death occurring before the average expected age in a population, often due to preventable causes. These deaths are typically linked to factors such as chronic diseases, accidents, substance use, violence, and lack of healthcare access.

Metric Data

Premature death calculates the years of potential life lost before age 75 per 100,000 population. This data is a measure of the number of deaths in a given time period divided by the average number of people at risk during that period.

This data is collected by the National Center for Health Statistics.
