ДИНАМИКА СМЕРТНОСТИ НАСЕЛЕНИЯ ТРУДОСПОСОБНОГО ВОЗРАСТА И РЕЗЕРВЫ ЕЕ СНИЖЕНИЯ В ИРКУТСКОЙ ОБЛАСТИ

Abstract

Significance. Analysis of dynamics in mortality among working-age population provides the necessary information to find reserves for its reduction. The purpose of the study was to assess dynamics in mortality among working-age population in the Irkutsk region and identify reserves for its reduction. Material and methods. The mortality rates among working-age population in 1990-2020 were analyzed by a 5-year interval, using data of the regional statistics office from the table “C51” “Distribution of the deceased by gender, age and cause of death”. To estimate the mortality reduction reserve, a model for calculating the «Years of Life Lost» indicator for 2020 was used. Results. The mortality rates among working-age population vary from a minimum of 614.2‰00 in 1990 to a maximum of 1164.2‰00 in 2005. From 2005 to 2020, there is a 37.1% decrease in mortality, but the 2020 indicator remains 19.1% higher than the one in 1990. The male mortality rate is higher compared to females with a maximum gap in 2000 (54.1%). From 1990 to 2010, the highest contribution to depopulation is made by the class of external causes (37.4%), and from 2010 to 2020 – by diseases of the circulatory system (30.0%). Using the Years of Life Lost model, it was determined that women and men under 70 could live longer by 5.07 years and 5.92, respectively, with a reduction in mortality from seven leading causes of death. Conclusion. The identified reserves of mortality reduction can serve basis for substantiating the focus areas of prevention to improve health of the population.
