Mortality analysis of the working-age population of Yakutia

Abstract

The data of state statistics on mortality of the able-bodied population in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in the period from 1995 to 2020, as well as the structure of main causes of death in this category are analyzed. In the course of the work, the dynamics of changes in the structure of mortality among urban and rural residents with a gender division was studied, and the impact of a new coronavirus infection on the healthcare system in Yakutia was shown. It has been established that the mortality rate of the population of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) of working age during the study period has significantly decreased, but the proportion of deaths in this group to the total number of deaths is still higher than the national indicators. It is also shown that the mortality rate of men is 3.6 times higher than that of women. Since 2011, mortality in rural areas has significantly exceeded that in the urban environment, especially among the female population, which is largely determined by a decrease in the number of beds.
