Integral Assessment of the Effects of Socio-Economic and Ecological Factors on Mortality

Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the factors affecting total mortality of the population of the Republic of Bashkortostan (RB). Methods. The study was conducted using the method of regression analysis according to panel data. The official statistical materials of the Territorial Body of the Federal State Statistics Service for the Republic of Bashkortostan (Table C 51; databases on demography and statistical yearbooks "Social and Economic Situation of Municipal Districts and Urban Districts of the Republic"; annual statistical reports in the form of "2TP - Air "); Rosstat were used as sources of secondary data. Data from 54 municipalities and 21 cities of the Republic of Bashkortostan from 2002 to 2017 were used. Altogether, 17 indicators were used for data analysis. Results. On the basis of regression analysis of panel data, risk factors for total mortality were identified: primary adult disability, number of pensioners, unemployment, crimes. It is noted that a decrease in the mortality rate is affected by an improvement in the quality of medical services, an increase in the number of enterprises, and population density. The effect of these factors varies for men and women. Conclusion. The results of the assessment allow us to identify areas of activity to reduce mortality, as well as to determine the priorities of socioeconomic policy on the regional level.
