This study estimated years of life lost (YLL) among US Latinx individuals during the most recent wave of drug overdose deaths.
A serial cross-sectional study of YLL (life expectancy minus age at death) from death certificate records of Latinx individuals who died from drug overdoses from 2015 to mid-2022.
Over the study period, 58,209 Latinx individuals aged 15-64 years died from drug overdoses resulting in 2,266,784 YLL. Age-group YLL differences remained stable, but gender YLL trajectories diverged.
This study extends our understanding of the immense loss to Latinx communities from preventable drug deaths.
本研究旨在估算在美国拉丁裔人群中，最近一波药物过量死亡期间的生命损失年数（YLL）。
本研究为一项基于死亡证明记录的 YLL（预期寿命减死亡时年龄）的序列横断研究，纳入了 2015 年至 2022 年年中期间因药物过量而死亡的拉丁裔个体。
在研究期间，58209 名 15-64 岁的拉丁裔个体死于药物过量，导致 2266784 人生命损失年。年龄组 YLL 差异保持稳定，但性别 YLL 轨迹出现分化。
本研究扩展了我们对拉丁裔社区因可预防药物死亡而造成的巨大损失的认识。
