Study on the Epidemiology Distribution and Diseases Burden of Malignant Tumor Death Among Wuhan Residents in 2009

[Purpose] To investigate the epidemiological distribution and diseases burden of malignant tumor among Wuhan residents in 2009,and to provide a scientific evidences for prevention and control of malignant tumor.[Methods] The mortality,years of potential life lost (YPLL) and years of potential life lost rate (YPLLR) were calculated by collecting malignant tumor death data from the death registry system in Wuhan City in 2009.[Results] The gross mortality of malignant tumor was 153.61 per 100 000,and standardized mortality was 80.93 per 100 000.The top five death causes of malignant tumor death were lung cancer,liver cancer,stomach cancer,colorectal cancer and gastric cancer.Leukemia was the highest mortality of malignant tumor death among the population from 0 to 14 years old,and liver cancer was the highest mortality from 15 to 44 years old,and lung cancer was the highest mortality of malignant tumor death among the population from 45 to 59 years old and more than 60 years old.YPLL in malignant tumor were 96 105 years,which were higher than injury and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease and ranked the first (31.47%) among total death.The YPLLR was 13.42‰,and the sequence of leading malignant tumors in standardized years of potential life lost rate (SYPLLR) were liver cancer,lung cancer,stomach cancer,leukemia and malignant neoplasms of brain and central nervous system.The SYPLLR in rural (9.60‰) was higher than that in urban (8.15‰),and that in male (10.58‰) was higher than that in female (6.65‰).[Conclusion] Malignant tumor is the important disease burden leading to premature death and life losses.There is a notable difference in terms of the mode of life lost between urban and rural,male and female among Wuhan residents.A pointed scientific control strategies directed towards the focus population is the efficient path to reduce the losses of health and life-span.
