概要	Years of life lost (YLL) measures the burden of premature mortality by counting, for every death, how many additional years the person could have expected to live had they survived to a reference life expectancy. Summed over all deaths, YLL turns a count of deaths into a count of lost life-years, so that deaths at young ages weigh far more heavily than deaths in old age. It is the mortality half of the disability-adjusted life year (DALY) and a core metric of the Global Burden of Disease studies, letting analysts rank diseases and injuries by how much potential life they destroy rather than merely by how many people they kill.	The Sullivan method is a simple, widely used technique for estimating health expectancy — the average number of years a person can expect to live in a given health state, such as free of disability. Introduced by Daniel Sullivan in 1971, it combines an ordinary period life table with the observed age-specific prevalence of the health state, partitioning life-table person-years into healthy and unhealthy years without requiring any longitudinal transition data.
