THE ANALYSIS OF THE POPULATION MORTALITY OF THE YAMAL-NENETS AUTONOMOUS DISTRICT FOR THE PERIOD OF 1993-2016

Aim. This study was designed for the determination of the priority directions of the reduction of the population mortality of the Yamalo-Nenets autonomous district and the estimation of the place of death from certain major groups of death causes in total mortality in the Yamal-Nenets autonomous district for the period of 1993−2016.

Materials and methods. There was performed the analysis of the dynamics of death rates and the number of deaths depending on the sex, age group, locality and causes of death.

Results. The change in the sex and age structure of the population due to the natural aging and migration movements (the decrease in the proportion of the population younger than 20 years by 8.38% and the increase of the proportion of the population older than 60 years by 4.62% of the total population) had a major influence on the dynamics of the change in death rates of the population. The most significant causes of death in 2016 were: in men − cardiovascular diseases, external causes of death, neoplasms; in women − cardiovascular diseases, neoplasms, external causes of death. The primary directions of reducing the mortality of the population of the YNAO can be determined by the most significant groups of causes of death: cardiovascular diseases of the population; diseases of the digestive system; neoplasms of the digestive, respiratory and genital organs; infant mortality due to infections (with the exception of respiratory infections) and circulatory problems; deaths due to alcohol-related causes.

Conclusion. The obtained results can form the basis for management measures to reduce mortality in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District.
