Abstract

The economic losses estimation and analysis of potential years of life lost due to external causes of mortality in the Arkhangelsk region from 1980 to 2012 have been conducted. Data on the absolute number of the people deceased due to external causes (according to sex, age, causes, territory) were obtained from the vital record tables of the Arkhangelsk region, the gross regional and the overall social product per capita and the average monthly wage paid were used for an economic analysis. On the basis of these data, an analysis of potential years of life lost due to violent mortality was conducted: the level of men's losses was 3.5 times higher than women's losses, the rural losses were 1.3 times higher than the urban losses; the group of the people aged 20-59 years made the greatest contribution to the losses. The region sustained the greatest economic losses due to external causes in 1980-1984, 1990-2004. The more significant economic loss was registered among the man's population in the urban territories in the nineties. Suicides, accidental poisonings with alcohol and traffic accidents were the leading causes of the economic losses of potential years of life lost in the region. © Northern State Medical University.
