At the same time, in Eastern Europe, mortality from infectious diseases and injuries increased among children and adolescents.
This is stated in research Life expectancy in the world, causes of death and Risk factors Institute of Metrics and Health Estimates (IHME) published in The Lancet Scientific Journal.
Scientists have analyzed medical information from 204 countries. Yes, in 2023 The average life expectancy It was 76.3 years for women and 71.5 years for men. She returned to the level that was to the pandemic.
In Ukraine Women live on average 78.5 years and men – 66.6 years.
In total, the average life expectancy ranges from 83 years in high -income states to 62 years in Africa south of the Sahara.
Since 1950 a global mortality rate From all reasons, it decreased by 66.6%.
In 2021, the Covid-19 ranked first among the causes of mortality. However, in two years he dropped on the 20th. Meanwhile heart disease and strokes became again the leading causes of death.
In addition, people generally began to die from infectious diseases. The mortality from measles, diarrhea and tuberculosis decreased especially sharply.
Meanwhile Non -infectious diseases They make up about two -thirds of the most common causes of death. Although fewer people have been dying from heart disease and stroke since 1990, the number of diabetes, chronic kidney disease and Alzheimer’s disease has increased.
Scientists have found that among the important Risk factors The occurrence of diseases is high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes and obesity. They also include ecology (in particular, contamination of solid particles and the impact of lead) and health after birth (low weight, short pregnancy).
In addition, mental health plays an important role in global mortality as the number of anxiety and depression increases.
Over the last decade the most Increased mortality among teenagers and young people aged 20 to 39 in North America. The preservation causes are suicide, drug overdose and excessive alcohol consumption.
Also increased by the number of deaths due to infectious diseases and accidental injuries among:
- children and adolescents aged 5 to 19 years in Eastern Europeas well as the countries of North America and the Caribbean;
- adolescents and young people in Africa south of Africa.
On a global scale for children 5-14 years, the main risks of death are iron deficiency, contaminated water, unsanitary, lack of normal hygiene and malnutrition.
For the age group from 15 to 49 years, the main dangerous factors – dangerous sex, industrial injuries, high body weight index, high systolic blood pressure and smoking.
Recall, UN statedthat ten -year progress in reducing child mortality and stillbirth was threatened by “conflicts, economic instability and reducing support from donors.” So, by 2030, approximately 30 million children under the age of 5 can die.
