MORTALITY AND LOST YEARS OF LIFE AS A RESULT OF CARDIOVASCULAR PREMATURE DEATHS

Abstract

Aim. Disability and Life-Year Loss (DALYs) is an important healthcare indicator. The first step in DALYs estimation is the measurement of lost years of life due to premature death. To explore the age-sex related statistics of cardiovascular (CV) deaths in Russian Federation (RF); lost years of life (LYL) due to premature death; and to compare those in different regions of RF with the parameter by 100 thousands of population.Material and methods. Russan Statistic Agency (RosStat) data on population and mortality by age intervals and gender for the year 2012.For each age interval the values of CVM and LYL were calculated.Results. The relative risk of cardiovascular death is much higher in men than in women at the age 30–62; maximum of additional death risk (by 100 thousands) is in age groups of 60–90 years. The portion of those who died from CVD at <60 y. o. is 30% in men and 8,4% in women; at >80 y. o. — 18,8% and 48,2%, respectively. The portion of CVM from total mortality in 2012 is 55,4%; at the same time LYL proportion from the entire premature deaths was 38% (36% for men and 42% for women). LYL due to premature CD death was 9797 by 100 thousands in RF in general (13211,9 in men and 6854,2 in women with the variety in different regions from 2058 to 10889 in women and from 3350 to 22122 in men, by 100 thousands).Conclusion. Further investigation required to clarify higher risk for men in economically active ages and significant regional variability in LYL.
