Years of life lost

YLL (Years of Life Lost) is a metric that is used to quantify the impact of premature deaths on a population. It can be calculated as:

$YLL=\; (L-A)$

Where:

• $YLL$ represents the Years of Life Lost.
• $L$ is the life expectancy at the age at which the person died.
• $A$ is the actual age at death.

I took the life expectancy values from the year 2021 for different races and genders.

By using the data frame “life_expectancy_2021_df”, I have calculated the YLL:

 

I will post my findings in the next post!!!
