Abstract: (259 Views) |
Introduction: The study of mortality and years of life lost (YLL) can increase public awareness of health risks and determinants. This study was conducted to determin the mortality rate and years of life lost by all causes in the Tehran Lipid and Sugar Longitudinal Study (TLGS) data. Materials and Methods: Data from the first to sixth phases of the TLGS (from January 31, 1999, to March 20, 2018) were used to estimate the mortality rate. Mortality rates by age and sex were calculated by dividing the number of deaths by the number of the population. In addition, age-standardized rates (ASR) were calculated using the world standard population. The YLL was also calculated by multiplying the standard life expectancy by the number of deaths per year. Results: The results showed an increase in crude mortality in both sexes, particularly in men. The standardized mortality rate decreased in the total population and men, from phase four and in women from phase three. Cardiovascular disease accounted for 42.46% of all deaths, and YLL was 10,625 years for men and 6,891 years for women. The trend of YLL also increased during different phases. Conclusions: The results show that factors related to mortality need to be addressed, especially in men and older age groups. Attention to the variety of causes of death and changing trends can help improve health services and reduce the mortality burden. Policymakers should focus on the prevention of non-communicable diseases and the promotion of public health. |
