SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF PEOPLE DIED FROM DISEASES OF THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM IN ORENBURG REGION FOR 2019-2020

Abstract

According to WHO materials, the rate of the population mortality is considered a significant indicator of the population health. The proportion of deaths due to diseases of the circulatory system is significant both within the borders of the whole country and the peculiar region. The policy of reducing mortality and increasing life expectancy remains invariably relevant as the main goal of demographic policy. The aim of the study was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the socio_demographic portrait of those whose death was registered as the result of cardiovascular diseases in the Orenburg region in the period dated 2019-2020. The data were taken from the depersonalized database of medical death certificates of the mortality monitoring system of the region. The results were evaluated using a multinomial regression analysis. During the study period, 22,835 deaths due to diseases of the circulatory system were registered. The absolute number of deaths increased by 26 % in 2020 compared to 2019. The number of deaths increased in 2020, the growth rate was 40.5 %. In 2020, the proportion of deaths due to cardiovascular diseases increased by 11 %. It was revealed that married, male, senile persons having higher and general education, unemployed, retired have a high relative chance of dying at home in the Orenburg region. Unemployed elderly people have a high chance of dying “elsewhere” (including “in an ambulance” and “exposed to an accident”). As a result, groups of potential reserves for reducing mortality in the Orenburg region were identified.
