Abstract
The purpose of the study is to show the significance of high mortality of men as one of the most problematic issues in the sphere of mortality. The main characteristics of the excess mortality of males identified using the methods of demographic data analysis on the dynamics of mortality rates by individual age groups, gender breakdown, by selected causes of death. A sufficient number of problematic issues present in the sphere of mortality. This is a relatively high proportion of deaths in working age, maintaining the structure of causes of death substantial relative weight of deaths from accidents, poisonings and injuries, i.e. external causes.Although the positive dynamics in reducing the proportion of these causes of death in the total number of deaths observed, however, these causes of death consistently occupy 2nd place after diseases of the circulatory system.
Male overmortalityof men is one of the significant problems in the field of mortality and has economic consequences, e.g., loss of the working population, and social (from the point of view of family life). In recent years, the mortality rate in men was constantly higher than in women. Male overmortalityis stored in the active working ages; in the working age index of high mortality of men is much higher than a similar index in the general population. The highest rates are added to these causes of death external causes of death, suffering from consumption and chronic alcoholism. Mortality due to external causes is significant growth potential for the life expectancy as one of the integral indicators of demographic security. In this regard, the reduction of mortality from external causes should be one of the major events in the regional demographic policy in the sphere of mortality.
The complex of measures to reduce the high mortality of men should include the units on the improvement measures of a medical nature,and also the block of measures of primary prevention (the formation of self-preservation behavior, healthy lifestyles), the unit of measures for creation of safe habitat.
