The article AIMS to evaluate mortality from external causes in Lithuania in 1990 and in 1997 and influence of age and gender on it.
The primary data of official demographic statistics were used for analysis, after adjustment by age - European standard. Four external causes of death (suicides, homicides, traffic accidents and all external causes) were examined. Years of potential life lost (YPLL) due to premature death from external causes were calculated. THE RESULTS obtained showed that age adjusted male suicides mortality increased by 7.7%, from homicides - by 3.0% and from all external causes - by 3.2% per year. Female suicide mortality increased by 5.9%, from homicides - by 1.7% and from all external causes increased by 2.0% per year. Male traffic accidents decreased approximately by 4.8% and those of females approximately 5.0% per year.
Males had higher mortality in almost all age groups. Male suicides and all external causes mortality increased from 10-14 years to maximum at the age of 50-54 years and then decreased. Female mortality from these two reasons from 10-14 years increased with age. Maximal female homicide mortality was found at the age of 35-49 years. Male traffic accident mortality at the age of 20-24 years and that of females at the age of 10-14 and 20-29 years increased from 1990 to 1997 despite decline in other age groups. The YPLL per 100000 due to all external causes increased from 4598 in 1990 to 5297 in 1997 for males and from 940 to 1106 for females.
本文旨在评估1990年和1997年立陶宛外部原因导致的死亡率以及年龄和性别对其的影响。
官方人口统计的原始数据经年龄调整（欧洲标准）后用于分析。研究了四种外部死因（自杀、他杀、交通事故及所有外部原因）。计算了因外部原因过早死亡导致的潜在寿命损失年数（YPLL）。所得结果显示，年龄调整后的男性自杀死亡率每年上升7.7%，他杀死亡率每年上升3.0%，所有外部原因导致的死亡率每年上升3.2%。女性自杀死亡率每年上升5.9%，他杀死亡率每年上升1.7%，所有外部原因导致的死亡率每年上升2.0%。男性交通事故死亡率每年约下降4.8%，女性约下降5.0%。
几乎在所有年龄组中男性死亡率都更高。男性自杀和所有外部原因导致的死亡率从10 - 14岁开始上升，在50 - 54岁达到最高，然后下降。女性因这两个原因导致的死亡率从10 - 14岁开始随年龄增长。女性他杀死亡率最高出现在35 - 49岁。尽管其他年龄组有所下降，但1990年至1997年期间，20 - 24岁男性交通事故死亡率以及10 - 14岁和20 - 29岁女性交通事故死亡率有所上升。男性每10万人因所有外部原因导致的潜在寿命损失年数从1990年的4598增加到1997年的5297，女性从940增加到1106。
