Years Life Lost Due to Smoking: A Korean Focus
Abstract: This chapter estimates the burden of premature death due to smoking in Korea during the period between 2001 and 2005 using the > years of life lost due to premature death (YLLs) method. To implement this study, we calculated the years of life lost due to premature death by age group using the > standard expected years of life lost (SEYLL) method. YLLs due to smoking were calculated based on the assumptions and methods developed by the > Global Burden of Disease Study Group. The burden of premature death due to smoking was estimated by multiplying the > Smoking-Attributable Fraction (SAF) by the YLLs due to smoking-related diseases. In 2005, the burden of premature death due to smoking using YLLs was 19.2% of YLLs due to all causes in males and 3.3% of YLLs due to all causes in females in Korea. The incidence of premature death due to smoking decreased from 350,800 in 2001 to 341,141 in 2005 in the male population and increased from 36,764 in 2001 to 38,058 in 2005 in the female population in Korea. Our results suggest that the method employed in this study allowed for the burden of premature death due to smoking to be assessed quantitatively, and it was comparable with those used by other international studies in this field and thus can provide a rational basis for national health policy planning regarding premature death from smoking and smokingrelated risk factors in Korea.
