Mortality among adults in the arctic macro-region: Dynamics, structure and features

“…Still, mortality rates among the working age population as well as some territory-specific differences have not been sufficiently investigated. Some studies established that mortality rates in small industrial towns (Apatity, Kandalaksha, Kirovsk, and Monchegorsk) in the Murmansk region were higher than those in Murmansk city [6]. Very interesting results were reported in a study that compared mortality rates in two cities with highly uncomfortable climate, Yakutsk (population 340,000) and Nizhnevartovsk (population 250,000).…”
