Abstract
The article reports the analysis of territorial and gender differences in cardiovascular (CVD) mortality among the population of the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic aged 15 and older.
We have established substantial differences in the mortality rates and age of death from CVD between the municipalities of the republic. The highest standardised CVD mortality rates were in Zhigansky, Olenyoksky, and Nizhnekolymsky districts, the lowest in Verkhnevilyuysky, УдК 314.482; 314.422.6 ПередОВаЯ СТаТьЯ Even-Bytantaisky, and Abyisky districts. The lowest median death age values were observed in the Even-Bytantaisky and Abyisky districts, the largest in the Olenyokskiy and Churapchinsky districts.
Men’s mortality rate was 1.7 times higher than that of women. Median age of death in men was 13 years less than in women.
To manage the demographic situation in the region, it is necessary to search for the causes of existing differences in the death rates of the population.
