Mortality rate of the population of the Republic of Tatarstan and Samara Region in 1990–2010

In the paper the features of the dynamics and structure of population mortality in the 1990s – 2000s in two economically developed regions of the Middle Volga region – the Republic of Tatarstan and the Samara region – are analyzed. Mortality indicators are considered by the author in the context of place of residence, age and gender differences. As a result of the analysis, the author found that the growth rate of the number of deaths in the regions under consideration turned out to be higher than the Russian average and the increase in the number of deaths at young ages had a significant impact on the deterioration of these indicators. The author paid much attention to studying the structure of population mortality in accordance with the current International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). The article analyzes the dynamics of the contribution of various causes of death to the structure of mortality in the city and rural areas, and also identifies the main trends and regional specifics, showing positive and negative trends in the dynamics of mortality in the regions under consideration.
