Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) standard, the middle age refers to the population between 45 and 59 years old. In the previous two studies, we examined the specific characteristics of the detailed localization structure of morbidity, mortality, and survival of children, adolescents, and young adults. This analysis of these characteristics for individuals belonging to the middle age group is conducted for the first time. The population belonging to this age group is most actively involved in public life, has a stable financial status, and often finds themselves at the peak of their professional and personal maturity. The concept of "middle age" encompasses three components. According to the WHO standards, the first component represents the total population aged 45 to 49 years. In the previous two studies, we examined the characteristics of the detailed localization structure of morbidity, mortality, and survival of children, adolescents, and young adults. The analysis of these characteristics for individuals belonging to the middle age group is conducted for the first time. The population that falls within this age group is most actively involved in public life, has a stable socioeconomic status, and often reaches the pinnacle of their professional and personal maturity. The concept of "middle age" encompasses three components.
