Popis: Introduction: The scale and socio-economic implications of the non-communicable diseases (NCD) epidemic are growing in Ukraine. The aim: To determine the mode of mortality resulted from main non-communicable diseases in Ukraine, calculate and estimate the number of years of potential life lost (YPLL) due to premature mortality from them.Materials and Methods: The information base of the study was official data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine on the distribution of the deceased by gender, age groups and causes of death in 2016 and World Health Statistics 2016 data. The method of potential demography was used to estimate demographic losses.Review: The years of potential life lost for Ukrainian men is more than twice as high as that of women. For each case of death in the range of 30-69 years, an average of 10.3 years of potential life is lost. The group at the working age limit 55-59 years gives the most significant loss in terms of the contribution in the range of 30-69 years. The structural share of the contribution of main NCD to the burden of premature deaths gradually increases with age and accumulation of chronic pathology.Conclusions: As a result of the deaths caused by four main NCD in the range of 30-69 years in Ukraine in 2016, 1572.793 thousand of person-years or almost 56% of losses due to all causes of death at the same age were lost in Ukraine.
