Abstract

Methods The data of national disease surveillance system were used to analyse years of potential life lost(YPLL). Results Injury was the first leading cause of death among the people under age of 65 years old in the standard rate of YPLL. The first three leading causes of injury were suicides, drowning and traffic accidents. The death risk of males was higher than the females. Traffic accident was the main cause of YPLL of men while women's main cause is suicide. Drowning was the first leading cause of injury death among people younger than 10 years old.
