ОЦІНЮВАННЯ ПОТЕНЦІЙНИХ ЕКОНОМІЧНИХ ВТРАТ ЧЕРЕЗ ОСНОВНІ ПРИЧИНИ ПЕРЕДЧАСНОЇ СМЕРТНОСТІ НАСЕЛЕННЯ ПРИЧОРНОМОРСЬКОГО ЕКОНОМІЧНОГО РЕГІОНУ

Abstract

The relevance of the study lies in the growth of mortality rates in Ukraine, in particular in the Black Sea economic region. Thus, according to the main classes of causes of death, both in Ukraine and in the Black Sea economic region, the population dies from diseases of the circulatory system, tumors and external causes, which requires an assessment of relevant economic potential losses due to premature mortality. The aim of the study is to assess the potential economic losses due to the main causes of premature mortality of the Black Sea economic region. The problem of increasing mortality rates per 100,000 populations in Ukraine, in particular in the Black Sea economic region, has been identified. It was found that in Kherson and Odessa regions there are the most exceedances of mortality rates for the main reasons compared to the average values in Ukraine. Absolute and relative indicators characterizing the state of mortality in Ukraine and in the Black Sea economic region by the following main causes of death are analyzed: diseases of the circulatory system, neoplasms, external causes. Potential losses in man-years for the economy of the Black Sea economic region from premature mortality in the age group of 16‒59 years due to tumors, diseases of the circulatory system, external causes of death are calculated. Potential economic losses in value terms for the economy of the Black Sea economic region from premature mortality in the age group of 16‒59 years due to tumors, diseases of the circulatory system, external causes of death are calculated. Potential economic losses of the Black Sea economic region from the main causes (diseases of the circulatory system, neoplasms, external causes of death) due to premature mortality in the age group 16‒59 years in the structure of the Gross Regional Product of Ukraine are generalized. Conceptual recommendations for reducing the rate of premature death from the main causes of death in Ukraine, in particular in the Black Sea economic region, are proposed. It is proposed to restore the system of medical examination of the population, to introduce medical social insurance.
