30 Jahre Deutsche Einheit: Errungenschaften und verbliebene Unterschiede in der Mortalitätsentwicklung nach Alter und Todesursachen

Abstract: Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Durch die deutsche Teilung wurden 2 kulturell sehr ähnliche Bevölkerungen sehr unterschiedlichen sozioökonomischen Bedingungen ausgesetzt, die sich nach 1989 wieder anglichen. Der Einfluss von Gesundheitsversorgung und Lebensumständen auf Sterblichkeitsunterschiede kann besser erfasst werden, wenn kulturelle Erklärungen weitgehend ausgeblendet werden können. Ziel der Arbeit Die Arbeit wertet harmonisierte Todesursa… Show more

“…For example, the extent to which persisting east-west socioeconomic disparities impact the national health outcomes remains a focal point of discussions in Germany [13][14][15]. Eastern Germany is still affected by specific health problems, including a pronounced level of excess mortality at adult working ages among men [50]. On the other hand, in eastern Germany, the life expectancy disadvantage against the western part has been substantially reduced for males (1.2 years in 2019), whereas eastern German females even gained a slight advantage (0.1 years) against their western counterparts [16,50].…”

On the other hand, in eastern Germany, the life expectancy disadvantage against the western part has been substantially reduced for males (1.2 years in 2019), whereas eastern German females even gained a slight advantage (0.1 years) against their western counterparts [16,50]. This east-west convergence in longevity has coincided with Germany reporting low overall levels of regional inequality in longevity compared to other high-income countries [51][52][53][54].…”

“…Due to the structure of the SHIs that provide data for the InGef research database, the proportion of insurees in the regions of East and West Germany deviates slightly from the German reference population. The differences observed for the hospitalization rates and the prescribed ATC drug classes might likewise be explained by the described regional and socio-economic variations between insurees of the InGef research database and the German population (17,18,23). Especially, the lower hospitalization rates found for ICD-chapters O (Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium) and P (Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period) might be linked to a higher socioeconomic status, which has been reported to result in reduced fertility (24,25).…”

“…The sharp decline in CVD mortality is one of the most important factors behind the increase in life expectancy in recent decades [9,21]. However, large regional and socioeconomic differences in the overall level and in the pace of declines were reported for CVD mortality [9,17,21]. Jasilionis et al…”
