Abstrakt: Years of life potentially lost refers to the number of years that a person, group ofpersons or a population lose in case of a premature death. Metabolic diseases are due to disorders in the metabolism of nutrients. The causality of these diseases can be endogenous (insufficient secretion of insulin), exogenous or mixed; hereditary factors may be involved. The work applies a methodology to calculate the years of life potentially lost in the Bihor County's population. Deaths caused by endocrine, nutrition and metabolic diseases were analyzed separately. There are limitations of the study, which are mentioned. The decreasing trend in the number ofpremature deaths from diseases of nutrition and metabolism in Bihor county may be due to better health services (increasing the number of specialists in diabetes, nutrition and metabolic diseases, improve the health infrastructure of the county and gratuity of the diabetic treatment), actually resulting in increasing the life duration and the death possible through complications.
