en The Trend of Years of Life Lost Caused by 4 Main Non-Communicable Diseases in Fars Province in the Age Group of 30-70 Years. Joinpoint Regression Analysis Epidemiology Original Article <div style="text-align: justify;">Background: This study aimed to investigate the trend of YLL created by four Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Fars province. Materials and Methods: Data on the total number of NCD fatalities in southern Iran from 2004 to 2019 were gathered for this research from the population-based Electronic Death Registry System (EDRS). The JoinPoint Regression method was used to analyze the trends in the crude and age-standardized mortality rate and YLL rate. Results: During the study period, 54,825 deaths occurred in terms of four NCDs in 30-70 years Fars in the province. The total YLL due to premature death during the sixteen-year study period was 558,316 in males and 401,595 in females. The largest number of YLL was caused by cardiovascular diseases 599,189 (62.7%). The sixteen-year trend of years of YLL owing to CVD was declining for both men and women, according to the joinpoint regression analysis.  However, there was a constant tendency for females and a rising trend for men with cancer. Additionally, the YLL rate for diabetes in both boys and females showed steady trends. Furthermore, the trend of YLL rate due to chronic respiratory disease was increasing for males but had a stable trend for females.  Conclusions: The result of this study indicates that the YLL rate because of cardiovascular diseases has been declining. The YLL rates for diabetes, cancers, and chronic respiratory diseases have either increased or remained stable. These results carry important implications for public health policies and educational initiatives aimed at enhancing the prevention, early detection, and treatment of these diseases.</div> Years of Life Lost,Mortality Rate,Regression,Noncommunicable Diseases,Iran, 225 232 http://johe.rums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-620-5&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Habibollah Azarbakhsh - - azarbakhshhabibollah@gmail.com 22400319475328460013316 22400319475328460013316 No Ph.D. in Epidemiology, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran.
