Mortality, causes of death and the change is reflected in a country or region an important indicator of health status of residents, is the development of health policies, evaluation of the quality and effectiveness of medical and health work of the scientific basis. Ministry of Health and Ministry of Science and in 2006 conducted a nationwide cause of death in the third sample survey of residents.
Survey results show that mortality rates in different regions of China between urban and rural areas and more obvious, chronic non-communicable diseases as the main cause of death in urban and rural residents disease.
Of the 20th century and the mid-70s early 90s, Ministry of Health to launch a nationwide focus twice to the residents of cancer causes of death investigations, made clear at the level of mortality in urban and rural residents and the main cause of death, particularly Cancer Prevalence and distribution. In recent years, with the rapid economic development of our society, urban and rural living standards, nutrition, environment and other substantial changes occur, especially in population urbanization, aging and lifestyle changes, and many other factors, health behaviors of urban and rural residents and disease patterns have also changed. Jumin cause of death in the third sample survey aimed at understanding the early 21st century urban and rural residents in different regions in all the focus on cancer causes of death in mortality levels, trends and causes of death constitute the master and the main areas of cancer death among distribution for the state to develop disease prevention and control programs, preventive health strategies provide the basis for the establishment of a sound system and the Cancer Registry of priority diseases and risk factors related to the basis.
The third sample of residents of the main causes of death there are five aspects of the results
First, differences between urban and rural mortality rates in different regions is more evident. The survey area standardized mortality rate 4.0 (men and 4.9 , female 3.1 ). The survey found that urban and rural residents in China significantly different levels of mortality. In mortality from the survey point of view, significant differences between urban and rural areas, rural areas than in urban 19%, there are different regions are quite different: in the eastern city of western cities are higher than 22% and 25%; in the western rural areas were 13% higher than the eastern rural areas and 15%.
Second, infectious diseases, malnutrition, and maternal and child mortality continued to decline, chronic non-communicable diseases as the main cause of death in urban and rural residents disease. The findings show that urban and rural residents infectious, malnutrition and maternal and child mortality continued to decline, the cause of death constitutes a significant change. Cause of death according to WHO classification, our infectious disease, malnutrition and maternal and child mortality rates of the second survey of 90 early mortality decreased by 34.7%. Geographically, rural infectious diseases, malnutrition, and maternal and child mortality was significantly higher than the city; mortality in the western region is almost 2 times the national average.
Total mortality of chronic non-communicable disease mortality rates increased from 76.5% in the early 90s rose to 82.5%.
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer and other chronic degenerative diseases become the leading cause of death of urban and rural residents. The findings show that cerebrovascular disease, cancer is the top two causes of death in China, which accounted for 22.45% of total death and 22.32%, third and fourth of respiratory disease and heart disease, the fifth is the injury and poisoning, The top five causes of death in the cumulative total number of deaths accounted for 85%.
The top five causes of death of the city are: cancer, cerebrovascular disease, heart disease, respiratory disease, injury and poisoning; rural areas were: cerebrovascular disease, cancer, respiratory diseases, heart disease, injury and poisoning.
And international comparison shows that: My infectious, malnutrition and maternal and child mortality was significantly lower than the world average. Compared with developed countries, significantly higher levels of mortality of residents, particularly chronic disease, cerebrovascular disease is 4-5 times that of developed countries in Europe and America, 3.5 times that of Japan; malignant tumor and the United States, Britain, France close to, but high Asian countries (such as Japan, India and Thailand); heart close to the U.S., the UK, but significantly higher than that of France, Australia, Japan and Thailand.
