Exogenous and endogenous determination of mortality in the Siberian Federal District
The paper analyzes the life expectances in the SFD regions by applying the ideas of exogenous and endogenous determination of mortality. The data of recent years concerning death rates arranged by their associated major sets of causes of death showed a positive dynamics in most cases. An average age at death among the SFD population is compared with those observed in the countries characterized by a western model in terms of the epidemiological transition concept. Applying the SFD data, we can show correlations between average ages at death and shares of the deaths and life expectances both for men and women.
