Part 2
Impact of particular causes and lifestyle on Mortality
![Page 24: Population Mortality and Morbidity in Ireland n April 2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56649edb5503460f94beac96/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Agenda Causes
– Cardiovascular conditions– Cancer– Road Traffic Accidents– Suicide– AIDS
Risk factors– Smoking– Diet & Lifestyle
![Page 25: Population Mortality and Morbidity in Ireland n April 2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56649edb5503460f94beac96/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Cardiovascular diseases 43% of all deaths are due to such conditions Covers many illness types such as heart failure,
diseases of the arteries, stroke and hypertension related diseases
Mortality varies significantly by age and gender Certain types of these disease are affected by
geographic area of residence Main cause of death for those over 65 years of age Trend in EU is downwards in relation in to incidence of
such diseases Though need to consider each individual cause
separately
![Page 26: Population Mortality and Morbidity in Ireland n April 2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56649edb5503460f94beac96/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Cardiovascular - Heart disease For heart disease, trend is downwards for both males and
females Mirrors international experience, though fall is at a faster
rate than EU average However, is still higher than EU average

Cardiovascular - Stroke Trend is downwards for incidence of death due to a stroke
for both males and females Fall again is at a faster rate than EU average So, much so that there is no statistical difference between
Ireland and EU average experience

Cancer Like cardiovascular conditions many different
forms of cancer (Over 200 known) Not all cancers cause death Second largest cause of death in Ireland Incidence rate varies significantly between
males and females Also, within geographic areas depending upon
the form of cancer In international terms, Ireland’s cancer mortality
rates are higher than the average
![Page 29: Population Mortality and Morbidity in Ireland n April 2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56649edb5503460f94beac96/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Cancer – Breast cancer Ireland has one of the highest rates of breast cancer in the EU Trend for incidence at younger ages is downwards For older lives, trends appears to be upward Could be explained by differences in screening programmes Western world has significantly higher incidence of breast
cancer than developing world

Road Traffic Accidents Road Safety performance over last 30 years has
shown considerable improvement However:
– Still one of main cause of deaths within 15-34 age
group– By international standards relatively high
At all ages, higher incidence among males than females
By number of deaths largest number within 15-24, 25-34 and 65+ age groups
![Page 31: Population Mortality and Morbidity in Ireland n April 2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56649edb5503460f94beac96/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Suicide Rate of suicide has risen sharply over the last 20
years Possible reasons for the increase include:
– Underlying rate has increased significantly– Reporting may have increased– Coding may be more accurate
One of main cause of deaths within 15-34 age group Significantly higher incidence among males than
females Particularly high incidence rate among young males

Suicide Significant differences between countries These differences also are by age group
• Unable to find any conclusive reason to explain this variation though climate is a possibilty

AIDS Could be explained by a change in the development
times between onset of HIV, onset of full-blown AIDS
and death due to AIDS
Working Party believes significant health issue around
increase in HIV levels
However, caution needed in predicting doom as theory
that death is only deferred is open to debate
If people are living longer then heretofore increased cost
of treatment of AIDS needs to be considered

Smoking Lifestyle factor with most widely known impact
on health Peto has completed extensive research on
smoking patterns between countries SOA study on Irish Assured Lives has found that
mortality for smokers was appproximately twice that for non-smokers
Experience from Peto suggests it is could be as high as three times that of non-smokers
![Page 38: Population Mortality and Morbidity in Ireland n April 2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56649edb5503460f94beac96/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Smoking
6,000 people die each year as a result of causes attributed to smoking
Certain causes affected more than others from smoking e.g. lung disease, heart disease
By international standards, Irish smoking rates comparatively low for males but high for females
Continued innovative ‘no-smoking’ campaigns are to be encouraged

Diet & Nutrition No data for working party to consider effects of
diet explicity Long term relationship between health status
and diet International studies have found that there is a
change in mortality depending upon the in-take of certain food groups
