The research study is released today in the International Journal of Epidemiology.Using yearly death information from the World Health Organization Mortality Database, the research study compared trends in midlife mortality for adults aged 25-64 years between 1990 and 2019 across 15 significant causes of death in 18 high-income countries, consisting of the United States and UK, and 7 Central and Eastern European countries.Over the previous three years, the study discovered that many of these countries have experienced significant decreases in midlife mortality from all possible causes of death, understood as all-cause mortality. As a result, by 2019, the United States saw all-cause death rates that were 2.5 times greater than the average of other high-income nations studied.Age-standardized mortality from drug-related causes from 2000-2019. Drug-related deaths in the United States increased up to 10-fold (depending on sex and age group mix) between 2000 and 2019, diverging enormously from other countries.Comparative Analysis and UKs PositionDr Katarzyna Doniec, corresponding author of the research study and Postdoctoral Researcher at LCDS and the Demographic Science Unit stated, Over the previous three decades midlife mortality in the United States has actually gotten worse substantially compared to other high-income nations, and for the younger 25 to 44 year old age-group in 2019 it even exceeded midlife mortality rates for Central and Eastern European nations. The research study concludes that mortality decreases experienced in other high-income countries imply substantial space for death improvement in both the United States and UK.
The study is released today in the International Journal of Epidemiology.Using annual death information from the World Health Organization Mortality Database, the study compared trends in midlife death for grownups aged 25-64 years between 1990 and 2019 throughout 15 significant causes of death in 18 high-income countries, consisting of the United States and UK, and 7 Central and Eastern European countries.Over the previous 3 years, the study found that many of these countries have actually experienced considerable declines in midlife mortality from all possible causes of death, understood as all-cause death. Drug-related deaths in the United States increased up to 10-fold (depending on sex and age group combination) in between 2000 and 2019, diverging tremendously from other countries.Comparative Analysis and UKs PositionDr Katarzyna Doniec, corresponding author of the research study and Postdoctoral Researcher at LCDS and the Demographic Science Unit stated, Over the previous three years midlife mortality in the United States has actually intensified significantly compared to other high-income countries, and for the younger 25 to 44 year old age-group in 2019 it even exceeded midlife death rates for Central and Eastern European countries. The research study concludes that death declines seen in other high-income countries indicate substantial space for mortality enhancement in both the United States and UK.
