Abstract

The purpose of this research was to assess the status and identify the specific features of population mortality from external causes in the Arkhangelsk Region, Nenets Autonomous Area and Komi Republic for the period of 2010–2021. Materials and methods. Information about external cause mortality in the above regions for the period under study was obtained from the statistical monitoring databases of the Russian Federation – Unified Interdepartmental Statistical Information System – as well as from the official websites of the Main Directorate for Traffic Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, and Federal State Statistics Service. Mathematicalstatistical and information-analytical methods were used in the paper. Results. In 2010–2021, the Arkhangelsk Region saw a steady downward trend in road traffic mortality; however, its average mortality rates remained at a higher level compared to the Nenets Autonomous Area and Komi Republic. During the period under study, the highest suicide rate among the regions was observed in the Nenets Autonomous Area: an average of 44 cases per 100,000 population annually, while in the Komi Republic and Arkhangelsk Region it was 30 % lower, i.e., 30.8 and 30.7 cases per 100,000 population, respectively. A better situation was observed in terms of homicide mortality, which decreased significantly between 2010 and 2021 in the regions under study. During the same period, mortality rates due to accidental alcohol poisoning dropped in all three regions; however, the average rate remained higher than the national average: 23.8, 12.2 and 26.1 cases per 100,000 population in the Arkhangelsk Region, Nenets Autonomous Area and Komi Republic, respectively. Dynamics of mortality from occupational injuries over the 12 years in the regions under study is insignificant and overall is similar to the national dynamics.
