years of potential life lost (ypll) or potential years of life lost (pyll), is an estimate of the average years a person would have lived if he or she had not died prematurely. it is, therefore, a measure of premature mortality. as an alternative to death rates, it is a method that gives more weight to deaths that occur among younger people. an alternative is to consider the effects of both disability and premature death using disability adjusted life years.
