A Dynamic Analysis Of The Vital Statistical Data Of Residents In Yuzhou City (1974～2003)

Purpose: Life information data is not only an important public healthinformation resource, but also the most basic population data for every country. A routine analysis of life information data can demonstrate the static characteristics, dynamic tendencies of diseases and death as well as the evolution of disease chains and disease spectrums, and hence explore the emergence and development of diseases and further indicate the priorities and direction of preventive health care. Concurrently, it can also provide insights on the effects of such factors as culture, health, economy, environment, and inheritance on mortality rate. Through the analysis of life information data, therefore, we can better understand the features and evolving processes of disease patterns among residents in a certain geographical area, and then promote public health through the determination of appropriate priorities of our work. This study provides a systematic analysis of the demographic composition, aging condition, major causes and dynamics of death among residents in the City of Yuzhou in 1974 ~ 2003. It describes the changes of the death spectrum and the dynamics of mortality rate in Yuzhou during this period. On the other hand , this study conducts a PYLL analysis of the health condition of the Yuzhou residents aged 1 ~65, assess the relative threats of various death causes to public health from the perspective of preventing "early death" and protecting labor force, and serves as a useful reference for the prevention and control of local diseases as well as for the design of health policy.
