A 21-YEAR DYNAMICS IN CONTRIBUTION OF MORTALITY FROM CURABLE DISEASES TO THE DECREASE IN LIFE EXPECTANCY IN THE KRASNOYARSK TERRITORY

Abstract

Significance. One of the strategic priorities of the Russian domestic policy is to increase life expectancy to 78 and 80 years in 2024 and 2030, respectively. High mortality from curable diseases that contributes to the decrease in life expectancy in the Krasnoyarsk Territory can be associated with low access to timely medical care. The current policy in the economic and social spheres should contribute to reducing mortality from curable diseases, which ultimately should result in the increased life expectancy. The purpose of the study is to analyze dynamics in contribution of mortality from curable diseases to the decrease in life expectancy in the Krasnoyarsk Territory to evaluate the current situation and identify prospects for increasing life expectancy. Material and methods. Contribution to the decrease in life expectancy was calculated according to the method of assessing eliminated reserves. To assess dynamics in the analyzed indicators, the total and average annual growth and loss rates, expressed as a percentage, were calculated. Results. The study has assessed contribution of mortality from curable diseases to the decrease in life expectancy calculated during the study. The assessed contribution makes it possible to evaluate possible reserves of the Krasnoyarsk Territory healthcare system cat can be mobilized using modern and effective medical interventions, including secondary prevention and treatment, to decrease mortality in the light of the target values of life expectancy established at the federal level. A special focus in the Krasnoyarsk Territory should be placed on mortality from diseases of the circulatory system, neoplasms and diseases of the digestive system associated with curable causes. Conclusion. Improving quality of treatment and secondary prevention of such curable diseases will make it possible to improve life quality and decrease premature deaths resulting in the increased life expectancy in the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
