Dynamics of mortality from diseases of the circulatory system in the Voronezh region

INTRODUCTION: The mortality rate of the population from diseases of the circulatory system is one of the most pressing problems in the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation and its regions. Since mortality from diseases of the circulatory system ranks first among all causes of mortality in the population, this problem needs special attention and measures addressed to them. AIM: Conduct a comparative analysis of indicators of the level, structure and dynamics of mortality from diseases of the circulatory system of the population of the Voronezh region for 2010–2019. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this article analytical and statistical research methods were used. RESULTS: The features of the dynamics of the mortality rate from diseases of the circulatory system in the Voronezh region from 2010 to 2019 have been revealed: there is a positive steady downward trend, including mortality from diseases of the circulatory system at working age, by 18.2%; the leading place in the structure of the causes belongs to diseases of the circulatory system (42.5% and 37.4% for the working age); in the structure of deaths from diseases of the circulatory system, persons over 60 years of age prevale (63.3%), the involvement people under the working age is insignificant and amounts to 7%, the total amount of women younger than the working age and working age is 1.5 times less than in corresponding groups in men, respectively, 28.8% and 42.7% (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Comparative analysis of indicators of the level, structure and dynamics of mortality from diseases of the circulatory system in population of the Voronezh region for 2010–2019 allowed revealing a stable positive trend of a decrease of mortality rate from diseases of the circulatory system.
