Mortality of Working Age Population in Russia and Indusrial Countries in Europe: Trends of the Last Two Decades

Abstract

Aim:The purpose of the study was to carry out comparative analysis of the status and trends in mortality of male and female population of working age (15-59 (54) years) in Russia and the EU-27. Materials and methods: Based on official Russian (Rosstat) data, on the global database of the World Health Organization's cause of death (The WHO Mortality Database, WHOMD) and databases The Human MortalityDatabase (HMD) of the sex-age composition of the population and the number of deaths from certain causes of death by age and sex standardized (direct method) mortality rates of working age population from selected causes of death for 1990 and 2011 in Russia and the average for the EU-27 were calculated. Results: Analysis of trends in mortality of male and female population of working age in Russia over the past two decades shows that, despite the positive changes in during last six years, in 2011, age-standardized mortality rates remained above the 1990 level for most causes of death. During the same period in the EU-27 mortality in men (15-59 years) and women (15-54 years) increased from almost all causes of death, which led to an even greater gap between Russia and developed countries on this indicator: standardized mortality rate of the male population of Russia in 1990 was higher than in the EU-27 by 2.1 times, and by 2011 the gap had increased to 3.5 times. The women in the 1990 had 1.5 times higher standardized mortality rates, and by 2011 the gap had increased to 2.7 times. Conclusion: Despite a steady decline in the mortality rates of working age population after 2005, its level in 2012 was still higher than the one of 1990 for both men and women, which led to a further increase in the gap between the age-standardized coefficients of mortality rate of working age population in Russia and the countries of European ). Faster reduction of mortality rate in the working age population will preserve Russian population and its labor potential. Key words: mortality of working age population, trends, structure of causes of death, standardized mortality rates.

Potential births loss due to male and female infertility in Moscow

“…По официальным статистическим данным Минздрава России, за последние 10 лет на территории Российской Федерации было выявлено всего 5 субъектов, в которых наблюдалась тенденция к росту распространенности женского бесплодия, среди которых г. Москва занимает 3-е место, уступая лишь Хабаровскому краю и г. Санкт-Петербургу, где распространенность превышает московскую в 3,4 и 2,8 раза соответственно. Следует отметить, что увеличению расчетного числа потенциальных потерь рождений с учетом бесплодия способствовал не только рост показателя распространенности бесплодия у обоих полов, но и снижение числа родившихся начиная с 2017 г. На снижение рождаемости может оказывать влияние и высокий уровень смертности мужчин трудоспособного возраста [7].…”

Progress and Problems of Practical Cardiology in Russia at the Present Stage

“…Данная медицинская стратегия неоднократно подтверждала свою эффективность в ряде стран Европы и приводила к снижению смертности от БСК [13]. Так, проведенная с 1991 по 2005 г. программа мер первичной профилактики в Польше, имевшей в конце 80-х годов прошлого столетия достаточно сходную с нашей страной ситуацию со смертностью, за счет мер, направленных на уменьшение основных ФР, способствовала снижению КЛИНИЧЕСКИЕ СЕМИНАРЫ § смертности на 54 %, в то время как действия в области вторичной профилактики обеспечили 37 % вклад в снижение смертности [6,13]. Таким образом, формирование здорового образа жизни (ЗОЖ) всей нации является одной из главных задач современной медицины и каждого медицинского работника.…”

Analyzing Processes Of Workingage Mortality: Regional Approach

“…Issues of increasing demographic burden on people of working age were addressed in the work of Ismerov et al (2014). The study of differentiation of men and women lifespan as well as the subject of retirement age in various countries was carried out by Aganbegyan (2015).…”
