DATA IDENTIFICATION


Name
Mortality rate attributed to cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease
Indicator purpose

The purpose of this indicator is to track mortality rate attributed to cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease.

Abstract

Mortality rate attributed to cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory disease. Probability of dying between the ages of 30 and 70 years from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory diseases.

Data source

Ministry of Health (MOH)

DATA CHARACTERISTICS



Contact organization person

Ministry of Health (MOH)

Date last updated
04-NOV-2019
Periodicity

Annual

Unit of measure

Rate per 100,000 population

Other characteristics

developing countries due to ageing. Cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases are the four main causes of NCD burden. Measuring the risk of dying from these four major causes is important to assess the extent of burden from premature mortality due NCDs in a population.

DATA CONCEPTS and CLASSIFICATIONS



Classification used

Probability of dying: The likelihood that an individual would die between two ages given current mortality rates at each age, calculated using life table methods. The probability of death between two ages may be called a mortality rate. Life table: A table showing the mortality experience of a hypothetical group of infants born at the same time and subject throughout their lifetime to a set of age-specific mortality rates. Cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory diseases: ICD-10 underlying causes of death I00-I99, COO-C97, E10-E14 and J30-J98.

Disaggregation

This indicator is disaggregated by sex.

Key statistical concepts

There are 4 steps involved in the calculation of this indicator:

  1. Estimation of WHO life tables, based on the UN World Population Prospects 2012 revision.
  2. Estimation of cause-of-death distributions.
  3. Calculation of age-specific mortality rates from the four main NCDs for each five-year age range between 30 and 70.
  4. Calculation of the probability of dying between the ages of 30 and 70 years from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory disease

OTHER ASPECTS



Recommended uses

This indicator can be used to assist the Ministry of Health in developing or strengthening strategies and programs aimed at decreasing the mortality rate attributed to cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease in Belize.

Limitations

Cause of death estimates have large uncertainty ranges. The use of verbal autopsy methods in sample registration systems, demographic surveillance systems and household surveys provides some information on causes of death in populations without well-functioning death registration systems, but there remain considerable challenges in the validation and interpretation of such data, and in the assessment of uncertainty associated with diagnoses of underlying cause of death.
