 AB    OBJECTIVE: To study the impact of AIDS on premature mortality in the
       city of Amsterdam (1982-1992). METHODS: We combined aggregated data from
       the Netherlands Central Bureau for Statistics with data from the
       municipal death and population registry and data from the Amsterdam AIDS
       surveillance system to calculate age standardized mortality rates for
       men aged 15-64 years and 25-54 years and working years of potential life
       lost before 65 years (WYPLL). RESULTS: AIDS was the leading cause of
       death for men aged 25-54 years in Amsterdam from 1990 onwards, and the
       third leading cause of death for men aged 15-64 years in 1991. In this
       larger age group AIDS will probably become the leading cause of death in
       the coming years. In 1991, AIDS was already the leading cause of WYPLL
       before 65 years for men in the 15-64 age group. Without AIDS, there
       would have been a decrease in premature WYPLL from 1982 onwards;
       however, because of AIDS the number of WYPLL is increasing again.
       CONCLUSION: AIDS has had a significant impact on the pattern of
       premature mortality in Amsterdam in the period 1982-1992. Its impact
       will probably increase over the next few years.
