Socio-economic losses due to cardiovascular mortality in the Republic of Bashkortostan

Aim. To conduct a dynamic analysis of demographic, social and economic losses from premature cardiovascular mortality in the Republic of Bashkortostan (RB) based on the methodology for calculating the potential years of life lost (PYLL).

Material and methods. The work used official data from Bashkortostanstat for the period 2002-2020, including mortality rates, tables reflecting the distribution of the deceased by sex, age groups and causes of death, population data for the RB in five-year age groups, gross regional product, as well as consumer price indices. The study calculated the absolute PYLL, relative PYLL, and standardized PYLL.

Results. The changes of mortality rates in the Republic of Belarus in the period from 2002 to 2020 developed in line with the all-Russian trend towards a decrease in mortality rates in 2002-2019 from 791,7 to 571,0. In 2020, compared to 2019, an increase of 11,7% was observed. PYLL rates for both all diseases and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) also decreased during the period under review, while the decrease in PYLL rates from CVD occurred much more slowly than in general ones. As a result, the contribution of losses from CVD to the total volume of losses increased. An analysis of the distribution of PYLL from CVD by sex and age showed that a significant sex gap in losses begins to form from the age of 25. The study of PYLL structure showed that the life loss due to mortality from CAD in the period under review decreased by 37,25%, while from cerebrovascular diseases — by 19,5%.

Conclusion. Such an analysis is useful in assessing the effectiveness and planning programs aimed at preventing premature cardiovascular mortality.
