The reduction of preventable deaths among minority populations in the United States is a national health objective for the year 2000 (1). One measure used to assess progress toward this objective is years of potential life lost before age 65 (YPLL-65), which measures the impact of deaths occurring in years preceding 65 years of age and emphasizes the effects of deaths among younger persons (2). This report compares trends in YPLL-65 among U.S. whites and blacks from 1979 through 1989.
在美国，减少少数族裔人群中可预防的死亡是2000年的一项国家卫生目标（1）。用于评估实现这一目标进展情况的一项指标是65岁之前潜在寿命损失年数（YPLL - 65），该指标衡量65岁之前各年份发生死亡的影响，并强调较年轻人群死亡的影响（2）。本报告比较了1979年至1989年美国白人和黑人的YPLL - 65趋势。
