Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the mortality level and leading causes of death among the registered residents in Taishun County, Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2023, as as to provide evidence for the formulation of relevant disease prevention and control strategies. MethodsDeath data of the registered residents in Taishun County were collected from the population death information registration and management system of Zhejiang Province Chronic Disease Surveillance Information Management System and Wenzhou City Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Excel 2021 software was used to calculate the mortality rates and cause-specific rankings of different genders, age groups, and surveillance years. ResultsDuring 2016‒2023, the crude mortality rate (CMR) of the registered residents in Taishun County was 663.97/105, with a standardized mortality rate of 448.33/105. The CMR for males (833.15/105) was 1.73 times higher than that for females (480.77/105). The mortality rate tended to decrease and then increase with age increased, with 78.25% of deaths occurring among individuals aged ≥65 years. The top five causes of death were malignant tumors, cerebral vascular diseases , cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, and injuries/poisoning, collectively accounting for 73.69% of the total deaths. The ranking orders for males and females were not exactly the same. Chronic diseases dominated the causes of death, accounting for 83.85% of the total deaths, from which, malignant tumors and cerebral vascular diseases accounted for 24.45% and 17.79%, respectively. ConclusionStatistically significant differences of mortality rates are observed among individuals from different ages and genders in Taishun County. Chronic diseases, particularly malignant tumors and cerebral vascular diseases, are the main causes of death among the registered residents in Taishun County. Therefore, it is needed to place weight on the prevention and management of chronic diseases, to alleviate the disease burden caused by premature deaths, and to promote the health of the whole population.
