3.1.2 Pattern of Years of Life Lost (YLL) by age in 2015.

Overall, 30.6 % of total YLL were contributed by productive age [15 to 49 years old (10.3 % for young
adult and 20.3% for older adult)]. Pre-elderly age group (50 to 59 years old) contributed about 17.1%
for total YLL. Among male, 34.8% of total YLL were contributed by productive age (15 to 49 years
old), compared to female as 24.2%. About half of the total YLL (47.5%) in female was contributed by
elderly age group (60 years and above) (Figure 3.2).
