Abstract

Background: Information on the mortality causes of goldsmiths in Bangladesh is limited. This study aimed to find out the mortality causes in a selected group of goldsmiths. Methods: A World Health Organization recommended questionnaire was adapted to conduct verbal autopsy of 20 deceased goldsmiths. Death-related information was gathered from the family members present during deceased’s illness preceding death. The mortality causes were determined by the interview outcomes and medical records-review. Results: The mean age of the goldsmiths at death was 59.2± 9.3 years. Among then, 70.0% were smokers and 50.0% were alcohol consumers. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) were the most common immediate and underlying cause of death (60.0% and 45.0%, respectively). Conclusion: The life expectancy of goldsmiths was much lower than the average life expectancy of Bangladeshi population, where CVD was the primary cause of death. Smoking and alcohol consumption were prevalent among them. Awareness about healthy lifestyles should be prioritized for highly CVD prevention among the goldsmiths.

孟加拉金匠的死亡原因:尸检结果

背景:关于孟加拉国金匠死亡原因的信息有限。本研究旨在找出一组选定的金匠的死亡原因。方法:采用世界卫生组织推荐的调查问卷对20名已故金匠进行尸检。从死者死亡前患病期间在场的家庭成员处收集与死亡有关的信息。死亡原因由访谈结果和医疗记录审查确定。结果:金匠平均死亡年龄为59.2±9.3岁。其中，吸烟者占70.0%，饮酒者占50.0%。心血管疾病(CVD)是最常见的直接和潜在死亡原因(分别为60.0%和45.0%)。结论:金匠的预期寿命远低于孟加拉国人口的平均预期寿命，心血管疾病是孟加拉国人口的主要死亡原因。吸烟和饮酒在他们中很普遍。对健康生活方式的认识应优先考虑在金匠中高度预防心血管疾病。Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib医科大学学报，2023;16(2):87-90
