Abstract
ABSTRACT. Introduction. The objective of this paper is to present
the analysis of mortality in Catalonia during 2017, including the
most significant mortality indicators in health and health services
and the evolution of a few indicators in recent years.
Material and Methods. Data corresponding to deaths occurred
in Catalonia during 2017 are obtained, for all live births, from the
Medical Certificate of Cause of Death-Death Statistical Bulletin, and
for late fetal deaths from birth certificates. Underlying cause of death was coded according to ICD-10. Population data is the post-census estimation of population in Catalonia on July 1, 2017.
Results. In Catalonia in 2017, there were 65,509 deaths of residents
(50.1% women and 49.9% men). Mortality was higher than the previous year. However age-standardised rate was the second lowest
since 1983; only the 2016 rate was lower. Life expectancy at birth
was 86.2 years for women and 80.7 years for men.
