標題: | CUMULATIVE MORTALITY RATES AND CUMULATIVE RATES OF POTENTIAL LIFE LOST FOR MAIN CAUSES OF DEATH IN DIFFERENT ADMINISTRATIVE AREAS IN TAIWAN | 作者: | LEE, WEN-CHUNG | 關鍵字: | ten leading causes of death;cumulative mortality rate;cumulative rate of potential life lost;urban and rural differential | 公開日期: | 2002 | 卷: | v.21 | 起(迄)頁: | 243-252 | 來源出版物: | TAIWAN JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH | 摘要: | This paper compares main causes of death in different administrative areas in Taiwan using indices of cumulative mortality rate (CR) and cumulative rate of potential life lost (CRPLL). Methods: Age-specific population numbers and death numbers were abstracted from vital statistics in Taiwan, 1991-2000. CRs and CRPLLs in different administrative areas in Taiwan were calculated. Results: Among the causes of death that were studied, malignant neoplasm has the highest CR for males (~32%) and for females (~19%) in most administrative areas. (Cerebrovascular disease has the highest CR [~21%] for females in aboriginal townships.) CRs are higher as the level of administrative areas become lower. For males, accidents and adverse effects has the highest CRPLL in every administrative area. The figure amounts up to 1,733 days in aboriginal townships. For females, malignant neoplasm has the highest CRPLL (~190 days) in metropolitan cities, provincial cities, and urban townships, whereas accidents and adverse effects has the highest CRPLL in rural (210 days) and aboriginal (558 days) townships. The ranking of the various causes of death using the CRPLL indices is similar in most administrative areas, but it changes a bit in aboriginal townships — the ordering of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis climbs from the fifth to the second and the ranking of tuberculosis climbs from the ninth to the sixth. Conclusions: The results of this study could be a reference for health agencies, central or local, to make policies. CR and CRPLL can be simply calculated and their meanings are transparent. It is recommended that they be routinely compiled in official vital statistics. |
