Abstract
The distinct age pattern of deaths caused by traffic accidents compared to other major causes of mortality in the country has led to a significant impact of these types of deaths on years of life lost prematurely. Therefore, in this study, provincial differences in years of potential productive life lost (YPPLL) due to traffic accidents were calculated at both the national and provincial levels in 2021. Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study (2021). Then, using the standard method, years of potential life lost (YPLL) and YPPLL were calculated. The findings reveal that the values of these two indicators in the country and for both genders are higher than the global average. Additionally, for both indicators, there are significant differences at the provincial level of the country. The provinces of Sistan and Baluchestan, Fars, and Hormozgan had the highest rates, while the provinces of Tehran and Alborz had the lowest rates of YPLL and YPPLL in the country. The results of the study underscore the importance of addressing provincial differences in the premature death index due to traffic accidents as a potential for reducing these deaths and ultimately increasing life expectancy at birth.
