Potential years of life lost at ages 25 to 74 among Status Indians, 1991 to 2001

The 1991 to 2001 Canadian census mortality follow-up study tracked a 15% sample of adults aged 25 or older. This study examined mortality among Status Indians and non-Aboriginal adults aged 25 to 74. Age-standardized rates of potential years of life lost were calculated, based on the number of person-years at risk before age 75.
