Semashko National Research Institute of Public Health16122021211108042022Copyright © 2021,2021Mortality is an important source of information on the Public Health Services effectiveness. The national mortality data are strongly associated with natural ageing processes and are not sensitive to mortality among youth. Potential Years of Life Lost (PYLL) reflects social and demographic significance of mortality burden. The aim of this study was to assess the burden of suicides in Kaluga Region in comparison with other external causes of death. It has been established that between 2003 and 2018 the overall burden of suicides was 69574 PYLL representing 3.67% of total burden of mortality over the period. The men to women PYLL ratio was 4.22:1. The most vulnerable age cohort was 20-34 years. There is a noticeable upward trend in male burden of suicides in the 55-59 age group and a downward trend in female burden in the 50-54 age cohort. The urban PYLL data were higher than rural, inspite higher suicide mortality rates in rural areas.public healthsuicidemortalityPotential Years of Life Lostmortality burdenобщественное здоровьесуицидысмертностьпотенциальные годы утраченной жизнибремя смертности1.Abajobir A.
