Abstract

This research analyzes the evolution of years of life lost (YLL) for young and adult Brazilian population by causes of death and geographical areas, as well as by gender and age-groups during 25 years: from 1980 to 2005. The most striking characteristic of the results of YLL is the widening gender gap: much larger figures for males than for females for violent causes. For males it is also noticeable a steady increase of the indicator driven by external causes. Young adults are especially vulnerable to death by violent causes, with large figures and a positive trend.
