Main findings The latest information for the EU related to causes of death is available for the reference period , while for nearly all EU Member States data are available for Developments between and Standardised death rates for cancer, ischaemic heart disease and transport accidents followed a downward path between and Between and , there was a Hungary reported the highest standardised death rates for lung cancer and for colorectal cancer Cancer was a major cause of death, averaging Respiratory diseases were the third most common cause of death in the EU After circulatory diseases and cancer, respiratory diseases were the third most common cause of death in the EU, with an average of Lowest standardised death rates from suicide were in Malta, Cyprus and Greece External causes of death include, among others, deaths resulting from intentional self-harm suicide and transport accidents.
Lowest standardised death rates from transport accidents were in Ireland, Denmark, Malta and Sweden Although transport accidents occur on a daily basis, the frequency of deaths caused by transport accidents in the EU in a standardised death rate of 6. Causes of death by sex Standardised death rates were higher for men than for women for nearly all of the main causes of death With the exception of breast cancer, EU standardised death rates were higher for men than for women for all of the main causes of death in — see Figure 3.
Causes of death in of people below 65 years of age For people below 65 years of age, the leading causes of mortality were somewhat different in terms of their relative importance see Table 2. Source data for tables and graphs Causes of death: tables and figures.
Data sources Statistics on the causes of death are based on two pillars: medical information contained on death certificates, which may be used as a basis for ascertaining the cause of death; and the coding of causes of death following the WHO-ICD system.
Inaccuracies may result from several reasons, including: errors when issuing the death certificate; problems associated with the medical diagnosis; the selection of the main cause of death; the coding of the cause of death.
Revised European standard population The number of deaths from a particular cause of death can be expressed relative to the size of the population. Tables in this article use the following notation: Value in italics data value is forecasted, provisional or estimated and is therefore likely to change; : not available, confidential or unreliable value. Context Statistics on causes of death, which are among the oldest medical statistics available, provide information on developments over time and differences in causes of death between countries.
The EU promotes a comprehensive approach to tackling major and chronic diseases , through integrated action on risk factors across sectors, combined with efforts to strengthen health systems towards improved prevention and control, by: making national statistics as reliable and comparable as possible, so they can serve as a good guide to policy effectiveness; supporting campaigns related to raising public-awareness and disease-prevention that actively target high-risk groups and individuals; systematically integrating policy and action to reduce inequalities in health; providing partnerships in relation to specific diseases, for example, cancer.

Health Population and Demography overview. Categories : Health Mortality and life expectancy Population Statistical article. The median age for men is Age group shared 1. This age group had the least number of deaths. It had been observed that as the age increases the rate of dying also increases. From age group 10 onwards it shows that the number of deaths continuously increases though a slight decrease were seen at ages then, it went up again at age 80 and over.
Diseases of the heart were consistently the top leading cause of deaths with , total death occurrences or It was also noted that about three-fourths , or Second in rank on the top leading causes of deaths is cerebrovascular disease 56, or Within three years , the top five causes of deaths remained on their posts and proved to be fatal among other causes of deaths.
Table 1. Accidents was the leading cause of death for males aged 1 to 44 and the third leading cause for males aged 45 to Accidents was the leading cause of death for females aged 15 to 24, the second leading cause for females aged 1 to 14 and 25 to 44, and the third for females aged 45 to Suicide Suicide was the second leading cause of death for people aged 15 to 34, the third and the fourth leading cause for those aged 35 to 44 and 45 to 54 respectively.
Suicide was the second leading cause of death for males aged 15 to 44 and females aged 15 to For females aged 25 to 44, suicide was the third leading cause of death. Table 3 Ranking and number of deaths for the 10 leading causes of death by age group, Canada, Table 4 Ranking and number of deaths for the 10 leading causes of death by age group, males, Canada, Table 5 Ranking and number of deaths for the 10 leading causes of death by age group, females, Canada, Regional differences Cancer was the leading cause of death in all Canadian provinces and territories since In as in , heart disease was the second leading cause of death in all provinces and territories, except for Nunavut, where suicide ranked second.
In the Yukon, accidents tied with heart disease as the second leading cause of death. Stroke was the third leading cause of death in all provinces except Quebec, where chronic lower respiratory diseases ranked third. Accidents was the third leading cause of death for Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Chronic lower respiratory diseases ranked as the fourth leading cause of death in five provinces and all three territories. Chronic lower respiratory diseases and heart disease tied as the fourth leading cause of death in Nunavut.
Accidents was the fourth leading cause of death in four provinces. Accidents or chronic lower respiratory diseases was the fifth leading cause of death in all provinces, except for Newfoundland and Labrador diabetes and Quebec Alzheimer's disease.
In the territories, the fifth leading cause of death was stroke for Yukon and conditions originating in the perinatal period for Northwest Territories. Suicide is the cause of death in 15 out of deaths. Assisted suicide is a different phenomenon mostly involving seriously ill people who no longer consider their life worth living and who choose when to die. Assisted suicide is the cause of death in almost 18 out of deaths.
However, this section of the population is considerably younger and therefore has a significantly lower risk of dying. In the case of stomach cancer, lung cancer only men and perinatal causes of death only male newborns , foreign nationals have higher mortality rates than Swiss nationals, in the case of cardiovascular diseases, dementia, lung cancer only women and for accidents and violent deaths their mortality rates are considerably lower.
