Analysis of Mortality Rates from the Main Groups of Non-communicable Diseases in the Russia for 2010–2022

Introduction . Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) continue to be one of the leading causes of death and disability both in the world and in Russia, while occupying a significant share in the structure of mortality rates — 74 % and 80 %, respectively. The aim of the study was to study the structure and dynamics of mortality rates of the population from priority groups of NCDs in Russia in a multi-year perspective for 2010–2022. Materials and methods . For the epidemiological study we used data from various materials, Ministry of Health, Rospotrebnadzor and Rosstat on mortality and morbidity of NCDs by main classes, groups and socio-demographic indicators for 2010–2022. Results . According to the values of mortality rates in the overall mortality structure of the population of Russia over a number of years (2010–2022), the main share was made up of NCDs, primarily diseases of the circulatory system, neoplasms, diseases of the digestive and respiratory organs. Discussion . In 2022, 68.4 % of deaths were due to NCDs, most of which were related to diseases of the circulatory system (43.8 %) and neoplasms (14.8 %). The priority of the listed groups of NCDs was also observed in the long-term dynamics (2010–2022) of mortality rates in Russia: diseases of the circulatory system (38.3–56.8 % of all deaths), neoplasms (11.6–16.6 %), diseases of the digestive system (4.5–5.5 %) and respiratory diseases (3.3–4.7 %). In terms of gender, according to the mortality rate, men of working age died from NCDs 3.1–3.7 times more often than women. Conclusion . NCDs remain the leading cause of death in Russia, primarily among the working-age population, requiring increased measures to prevent cardiovascular diseases, neoplasms, and diseases of the digestive and respiratory organs in particular.
