HIGHLIGHTS TO TABLE 36/FIGURE 21
- There were four Local Health Areas (LHAs) with statistically significant and high Potential Years of Life Lost Index (PYLLI) for under 75 years of age, for external causes of death or accidents and violence, based on at least five deaths in 1999. These LHAs, along with their PYLLI values for 1999 (number of deaths in parentheses) were:
| 078 | Enderby | 3.60 | (9) |
| 162 | Vancouver Downtown E. Side | 2.95 | (67) |
| 006/007 | Kootenay Lake/Nelson | 2.19 | (18) |
| 027 | Cariboo-Chilcotin | 2.07 | (21) |
All the above LHAs also had statistically significant and high PYLLI values for external causes of death (age under 75 years) in 1994-1998.
- Seven LHAs had PYLLI values for external causes in 1999 that were statistically significant and low, based on five or more deaths. The PYLLI for these LHAs (number of deaths in parentheses) were:
| 037 | Delta | 0.27 | (9) |
| 038 | Richmond | 0.28 | (23) |
| 043 | Coquitlam | 0.55 | (34) |
| 041 | Burnaby | 0.59 | (39) |
| 164 | Vancouver West Side | 0.62 | (28) |
| 166 | Vancouver South | 0.70 | (32) |
| 044 | North Vancouver | 0.71 | (27) |
All of the above LHAs also had statistically significant and low PYLLI values for external causes of death (age under 75 years) in 1994-1998.
- In the 1994-1998 period, a total of 29 LHAs had PYLLI values for external causes that were statistically significant and high. The six LHAs with the highest statistically significant index values for this five-year period (number of deaths in parentheses) were:
| 087/094 | Stikine/Telegraph Creek | 3.99 | (16) |
| 162 | Vancouver Downtown E. Side | 3.81 | (529) |
| 016 | Keremeos | 2.40 | (19) |
| 049 | Bella Coola Valley | 2.35 | (23) |
| 031 | Merritt | 2.30 | (57) |
| 032 | Hope | 2.30 | (46) |
- In the 1994-1998 period, 17 LHAs had PYLLI values for external causes that were statistically significant and low, based on five or more deaths. The five LHAs with the lowest index values that were statistically significant for this five-year period (number of deaths in parentheses) were:
| 038 | Richmond | 0.51 | (184) |
| 164 | Vancouver West Side | 0.52 | (149) |
| 045 | West Vancouver-Bowen Is. | 0.54 | (61) |
