Abstract

Preserving and strengthening the health of the population have been designated development priorities in the State program "Social and economic development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2020". The article attempts to assess trends in life expectancy, mortality from the main causes of death and infant mortality in one of the largest regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation - part of the Arctic macro-region of the Arkhangelsk region. It also presents the differentiation of mortality from the main groups of causes of death, including cardiovascular diseases (CVD), neoplasms, external causes, diseases of the respiratory and digestive systems, infectious diseases and some other causes in Arkhangelsk and Severodvinsk, in other cities and in  rural areas. The analysis is based on the standardized death rates (SDR) by causes of death.

The mortality level in the Arkhangelsk region is higher than the average for Russia, especially for men. The lowest mortality is observed in Arkhangelsk and Severodvinsk, slightly higher in medium and small cities and significantly higher in rural areas.

More than 80% of the structure of causes of death in all groups of settlements is determined by CVD, neoplasms and external causes, but  a small decrease in the proportion of CVD and external causes and a more significant increase in neoplasms is observed everywhere. Arkhangelsk is characterized by a higher level of SDR from malignant tumors. Mortality from external causes is characterized by significant differentiation by groups of settlements. However, SDR from accidental alcohol poisoning in all groups is on the same level.
