Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL) rates help Florida counties track progress toward Healthy People 2000 objectives. Analyzing YPLL data aids in planning programs to reduce premature mortality and identify emerging health issues.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Outcomes Research
  • Mortality Statistics

Background:

  • Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL) before age 65 is a key Health Outcome Indicator in Florida.
  • The state aims to measure progress toward Healthy People 2000 objectives using YPLL.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the outcomes of working with county health agencies to promote the use of the YPLL statistic.
  • To train county health agencies in calculating and interpreting YPLL rates.

Main Methods:

  • Calculated 1993 YPLL rates for Florida counties with populations over 50,000.
  • Analyzed inter-county variability in YPLL rates.
  • Used these calculations for training county health agencies.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • In 1993, 10 causes accounted for 68% of total YPLL in Florida.
  • YPLL rates varied significantly across Florida counties (3500-7000 per 100,000).
  • Leading causes of YPLL differed substantially among counties, indicating the measure's utility in program planning.

Conclusions:

  • YPLL rates guide federal, state, and county health units toward Healthy People 2000 goals.
  • YPLL helps identify new health problems and fosters community alliances.
  • Training is crucial for appropriate YPLL statistic use; statewide and local interventions are needed based on cause variability.
