The figures from Poland, for a 15 year period (2000–2014), show that the number of PYLL (when the cut-off age is 75 years), decreased by 20%, while both the population and the overall number of deaths increased slightly (by 0.59% and 1.94% respectively). At the same time, the number of PEYLL rose marginally (by 0.24%), which resulted from the formulary nature of the measure. Mortality measured by PYLL reveals that the leading causes of premature death among males are diseases of the circulatory system, neoplasms and external causes (mainly accidents), while in females the leading cause of premature death is neoplasms and the second leading cause are diseases of the circulatory system. When calculating PEYLL, the leading causes of premature death in both sexes is due to circulatory diseases.}, doi = {10.4467/20842627OZ.16.020.5889}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/zdrowie-publiczne-i-zarzadzanie/artykul/years-of-life-lost-due-to-deaths-in-poland-measured-with-potential-years-of-life-lost-pyll-and-period-expected-years-of-life-lost-peyll-indicators-in-years-2000-2014} }
