| Summary: | Background. Analysis of mortality of the Penza region population from atherosclerotic disease in 2023. Materials and methods. The materials provided by the Department of “Morphology” of the Penza State University of Penza were used in the work. The analysis of the initial cause of death was carried out, in addition, information about the place of residence, age and gender was used. The division of causes of death into groups was carried out in accordance with the ICD-10 codes. The Microsoft Office Excel program was used for statistical data processing. For the analysis, information from the “primary cause of death” column of the medical death certificate was used. Results. A total of 947 deaths were analyzed, the initial cause of which was atherosclerotic disease. According to the results, in 2023, more women than men died in the Penza region, and most of these people lived in cities. The largest percentage of those who died were elderly people. There is practically no mortality among young people, and no deaths have been registered among minors. An increase in mortality among women was recorded with each subsequent age category. Thus, gender and age-related features of death from atherosclerosis in the Penza region in 2023 were identified. Conclusions. The results obtained indicate a high percentage of deaths from atherosclerosis in the Penza region in 2023, therefore, a more detailed consideration of the prevention and treatment of atherosclerotic disease is required. |
