Premature Death Premature Death measures the loss of years of productive life due to death before age 75 as defined by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL-75). Thus, the death of a 25-year-old would account for 50 years of lost life, while the death of a 60-year-old would account for 15 years. Table 37 displays the 2006 ranks, based on 2003 data (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The age-adjusted data vary from less than 6,000 years lost per 100,000 population in Minnesota, Vermont and New Hampshire to more than 10,000 years lost per 100,000 population in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. The national average is 7,562 years lost per 100,000 population, which is essentially equal to the 2005 Edition and 1,154 years less per 100,000 population than the 1990 Edition. Since the 2005 Edition, the greatest decrease, more than 400 years of potential life lost, was in Nebraska. North and South Dakota show the greatest increase, with increases of over 400 years of potential life lost in the past year. Since the 1990 Edition, the years of potential life lost have decreased in 43 of the 50 states. New York has shown the greatest decline, with a decrease of 3,227 years from 9,754 to 6,527 years of potential life lost before age 75 per 100,000 population. Oklahoma has experienced the greatest increase of 739 years from 8,551 to 9,290 years of potential life lost before age 75 per 100,000 population.
