The Short-Term Mortality Fluctuations (STMF) data series provides an opportunity for analysis of intra-annual excess mortality, in particular, human losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the STMF has a limitation caused by the nature of the collected original weekly death counts. In many countries, weekly death counts are available only by broad age groups ...

In this paper we explore political-economic determinants of health. We draw upon the unique natural experiment of post-communist transitions to show the effect on health (measured as life expectancy and cause-specific mortality) of the interaction between institutions for political (democratic rules) and economic (free market entry) competitiveness. To analyze this relationship empirically, we employ panel ...

Regional variation of all features of mortality is quite significant. Being noted for many decades The North-Ost gradient of increased mortality rate continues its trend. In a time despite essential regional variation of mortality the difference in the orientation of its dynamic is not significant at all. An important condition for development of measures to ...

Background
Improving survival and extending the longevity of life for all populations requires timely, robust evidence on local mortality levels and trends. The Global Burden of Disease 2015 Study (GBD 2015) provides a comprehensive assessment of all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2015. These results informed an ...

Introduction and Aims
In the 1990s, a strong inverse relationship between life expectancy (LE) in Russia and mortality from alcohol poisoning was observed. This association is remarkable as this cause accounts for less than 2% of deaths each year. It can be explained by treating the alcohol poisoning mortality as the best available measure in Russia ...

This article presents the results of analysis of mortality dynamics among population of 9 territories of Arctic and Subarctic regions, using linear regression technique. Allcause mortality reduction was significantly greater in the 4 territories of the country. These 4 regions were: Murmansk region and Komi Republic (for females), Archangelsk region (for both sexes) and Republic ...

The paper is devoted to a comparison of mortality by cause of death in Moscow and other megacities of the world in the period after 1990. The selection of megacities was determined by the availability of detailed mortality data in the period under consideration. The objects of our comparison are data for Berlin, Hong Kong, ...

The Mauritian population has the highest life expectancy in Africa. However, diabetes, ischemic heart disease, stroke, influenza and pneumonia, and lung, breast and colon-rectum cancers are countering the health success of the country. Males, unlike females, are burdened by these diseases. The study assessed the contribution age and cause-specific mortality to the gap in life ...

The book is a significant contribution to the study of the history of collectivization in the USSR and its consequences and, more broadly, of the history of the USSR in the 1920s and 1930s. For the demographer - reader, it is especially important that the book’s author focuses on the demographic perspective of the general ...

Objectives. To assess disparities in mortality by socioeconomic status in Germany.
Design and participants. We analyse a large administrative dataset of the German Pension Fund (DRV), including 27 million person-years of exposure and 42 000 deaths in 2013. The data cover the economically active population, stratified by sex and by East and West.
Outcome measures. Age-standardised mortality rates and Poisson regression ...

The poor quality of mortality statistics from external causes in Russia and its regions is reflected in high death rates from causes named "Injuries with undetermined intent", which includes not only deaths from accidents but also the latent murders and suicides. On the basis of mortality statistics from the class "External causes of morbidity and ...

The mechanisms of increasing human longevity have been elucidated in part by observing vanguard groups whose mortality has decreased more quickly than the rest of the population. In the case of the three Nordic countries (Finland, Norway and Sweden) studied by Domantas Jasilionis, Vladimir Shkolnikov, Evgueni Andreev, Dmitri Jdanov, Denny Vågerö, France Meslé and Jacques ...

Современное демографическое неблагополучие России имеет долгую историю. Даже если оставить в стороне демографические катастрофы первой половины ХХ в., явное ухудшение ситуации просматривается с середины 1960-х годов. После распада СССР Россия получила тяжелое демографическое наследие. Требовались очень серьезные и продуманные меры для того, чтобы переломить давние неблагоприятные тенденции и ответить на новые вызовы, перед которыми оказалась ...

Главный демографический феномен в развитых и многих развивающихся странах — старение населения. В его основе две многолетние тенденции — устойчивый рост продолжительности жизни в старших возрастах и снижение рождаемости до уровня, когда детские поколения не обеспечивают замещение родительских в количественном отношении. Демографические прогнозы показывают, что в перспективе процесс старения будет не просто углубляться, но и ...

The authors made a combined analysis of the 1989—2012 morbidity and mortality from malignancies at main sites in the ablebodied population of Moscow. The cancer mortality rates for the trachea, bronchus, lung, and stomach and cancer morbidity for respiratory organs significantly declined among the able-bodied men. The male incidence of lung cancer decreased by an ...

Background
Established in 2000, Millennium Development Goal 4 (MDG4) catalysed extraordinary political, financial, and social commitments to reduce under-5 mortality by two-thirds between 1990 and 2015. At the country level, the pace of progress in improving child survival has varied markedly, highlighting a crucial need to further examine potential drivers of accelerated or slowed decreases in ...

The mortality of advanced-age residents of Russia has remained stable and high for several decades. However, the steady increase in life expectancy that started in the mid-2000s is largely due to decreased mortality among the elderly. The decrease in mortality among Moscow residents over age 80 was especially large during this period. We found evidence ...

Studies on socioeconomic health disparities often suffer from a lack of uniform data and methodology. Using high quality, census-linked data and sensible inequality measures, this study documents the changes in absolute and relative mortality differences by education in Finland, Norway and Sweden over the period 1971 to 2000. The age-standardised mortality rates and the population ...

Dissimilarities in the approaches used to certify or code underlying causes of death may diminish the usefulness and reliability of cause-of-death statistics. Consistency of cause-specific mortality data within a given country can be regarded as one of the criteria for evaluating data quality. In the present paper, we assess the subnational consistency of cause-of-death statistics ...

This article addresses two unresolved methodological issues related to prior research on Russia that was based on
census-unlinked data and did not account for the substantial increase in the share of death records with missing
information on education. The study uses a proportional mortality analysis method relying on a case–control
framework, together with a plausible imputation-based solution for ...
