Analysis of mortality in Russian population

摘要: Abrupt mortality growth in Russian population began 1991 and continued until 1994. Mortality lowered between 1994 1998, after which its fast resumed. These fluctuations to a significant degree result from increases decreases related cardiovascular diseases (CVD), particularly "other forms of acute chronic ischemia" "atherosclerotic heart disease", but not myocardial infarction, the proportion CVD-related is extremely low. At same time, deaths registered as "other" "not specified", was more than 50%. It may suggest that statistics overestimated, while external causes (EC) associated with alcohol intoxication underestimated. Analysis forensic postmortems supports this assumption. The authors found ethanol very often revealed blood persons diagnosis causes" or "non-specified" CVD. On average, 20% levels were potentially actually lethal, i.e. fact, reason for death intoxication, In postmortal EC frequency detection also high (55 70%). Potentially lethal concentrations one third all men women EC. Thus, article stress official statistical data, according 65199 2.8% Russia 2004 caused by are contradiction their data other authors. results present study demonstrate due overuse an important extreme rate population.
