Premature mortality is measured by the Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL) statistic. This statistic is calculated as the sum across individual deaths of the difference between age at the time of death and age 75 for each death. The method of calculation gives greater computational weight to deaths among younger persons and does not include deaths after 75 years of age. The Premature Mortality statistic reflects the preventability of early deaths through changes in lifestyle, reduction of substance abuse, behavior modification, accident prevention measures, and so forth. Smaller values are desired.
