Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the mortality and death cause proportion of respiratory disease in China, 2004-2005.
METHODSData of representative district (160 spots of national disease surveillance system) from 2004-2005 the 3rd national retrospective sampling survey of death cause were used for presenting mortality experience of respiratory diseases during 2004-2005 in urban and rural districts, different regions and in population of different genders and age groups. The total person years were 142 660 482 and standardized death rates were calculated from census data in 2000 and each five-year was counted as an age group.
RESULTSThe crude death rate of respiratory disease in survey districts (2004-2005) was 100.12/100 000 (144 106 cases), the standardized death rate was 87.56/100 000. The crude death rate and standardized death rate in male were 106.49/100 000 (77 709 cases) and 104.52/100 000. Those in female were 95.27/100 000 (66 397 cases) and 72.96/100 000, respectively. The crude death rate and standardized death rate in urban area were 86.00/100 000 (41 193 cases) and 68.60/100 000. Those in rural area were 108.60/100 000 (102 913 cases) and 97.74/100 000, respectively. The crude death rate and standardized death rate in eastern region were 95.69/100 000 (50 293 cases) and 69.33/100 000, central region 88.61/100 000 (44 113 cases) and 87.38/100 000, western region 123.26/100 000 (49 700 cases) and 116.37/100 000, respectively. The crude death rate and standardized death rate of respiratory infectious were 12.40/100 000(17 688 cases) and 10.91/100 000, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) 82.32/100 000 (117 440 cases) and 71.18/100 000, asthma 2.45/100 000 (3500 cases) and 2.14/100 000, bronchiectasis 0.25/100 000 (362 cases) and 0.22/100 000, pneumoconiosis 0.62/100 000 (878 cases) and 0.56/100 000. Death from COPD accounted for 81.49% of total respiratory death cases, infectious respiratory 12.27%, asthma 2.43%.
CONCLUSIONThe mortality of respiratory disease was greater in rural area than that in urban area in China during 2004-2005; greater in western region than that in eastern and central regions; greater in male than that in female. The mortality of COPD and its contribution to the total mortality of respiratory diseases were high.
