Prevalence rate is not a mortality-based indicator, but rather a measure of the proportion of individuals in a population who have a certain condition or disease at a specific point in time. The other options are all mortality-based indicators, with life expectancy at birth measuring the average number of years a newborn can expect to live, crude mortality rate measuring the number of deaths in a population (usually per 1,000 or 100,000) over a specified period of time, and years of potential life lost before age 65 measuring the number of years of life lost due to premature death before age 65.
