Abstract		Background. Mortality rates are one of the basic measures for population health estimation. The mortality data in Slovenia are collected according to well-defined methodology. Thus our results can be easily compared with the results of other countries. The purpose of this article is to display the most important causes of death with emphasis on premature deaths. This way the authors try to provide aggregate information to those doctors who are filling in the mortality data and those public health workers who have been designing Slovenian public health policy. Methods. The basic descriptive epidemiology method sare used to present the mortality in Slovenia in the year 2002 classified by gender, age groups and regions. Standard mortality indices were calculated: the number of deceased, crude death rate, age standardised death rate, median age at death and years of potential life lost. Results. The crude mortality rate among women is falling with time while the crude mortality rate among men is constant. The median among men is growing while among women is constant. According to analysis of combination of all mortality indices the most endangered regions in Slovenia are those of Murska Sobota and Novo mesto. The babies and preschool children die mostly because of conditions originating in perinatal period and congenital anomalies. For children after seven and adolescents the most frequent causes of death were injuries and poisoning. Suicides on the first place and traffic accidents on the second are the most frequent causes of death among young adults. Among old adults the frequency of causes of death depends on the gender: women die mostly because of breast and gastrointestinal cancer, but men because of liver diseases and ishemic heart diseases. Most frequent cause of death among elderly is cardiovascular diseases. (Abstract trunacted at 2000 characters).
Summary		Izhodišča. Kazalniki umrljivosti predstavljajo osnovno mero za ocenjevanje zdravja prebivalstva. V Sloveniji so podatki o umrlih zbrani po mednarodno dogovorjeni metodologiji in so zato primerljivi s podatki drugih držav. Namen analize slovenskih kazalnikov umrljivosti je vsem, ki podatke ustvarjajo in uporabljajo, pokazati, kateri vzroki smrti v največji meri prispevajo k splošni umrljivosti, predvsem pa, kateri so vzrok za prezgodnje smrti. Metode. V prispevku z osnovnimi metodami deskriptivne epidemiologije prikazujemo umrljivost v Sloveniji leta 2001 po spolu, starosti in območju bivališča. Računali smo standardne kazalnike umrljivosti: skupno število umrlih, specifično stopnjo umrljivosti, starostno standardizirano stopnjo umrljivosti, mediano starost umrlih ter leta prezgodnje um rljivosti. Rezultati. Specifična stopnja umrljivosti pri ženskah kaže desetletni trend upadanja, pri moških je ta trend konstanten. Mediana starost ob smrti se pri moških veča, pri ženskah je konstantna. Kombinacija vseh analiziranih kazalnikov umrjivosti kaže, da sta najbolj ogroženi regiji Murska Sobota in Novo mesto. Dojenčki in predšolski otroci največ umirajo zaradi stanj, nastalih v perinatalnem obdobju, in prirojenih nepravilnosti, šoloobvezni otroci in mladostniki zaradi poškodb in zastrupitev. Samomoriso najpogostejši vzroksmrti mlajših odraslih, po pogostosti pa jim sledijo prometne nezgode. Pri starejših odraslih se vzroki smrti razlikujejo glede na spol. Ženske umirajo največ zaradi raka dojk in prebavil, moški pa zaradi bolezni jeter in ishemične bolezni srca. Pri starostnikih največji delež k umrljivosti prispevajo bolezni srca in obtočil. Zaključki. Agregirani podatki o umrljivosti so primerni za grobo ocenjevanje zdravstvenega stanja prebivalstva. Trendi spreminjanja kazalnikov umrljivosti so blagi. Zahodni del Slovenije je manj zdravstveno ogrožen kot vzhodni.
