They often cause human death. Causes of death: natural, violent, illness

More than 55 million people die every year in the world. Leading among the main ones endogenous factors associated with the aging of the body and its heredity. Therefore, death statistics largely depend on the economic and social situation.

Main reasons

The mortality rate reflects the level of well-being of society and the quality of healthcare. The leading causes of death account for 54% of total number. TOP 10 in 2015:

Causes Number (million people)
Cardiac ischemia 8,7
Stroke 6,3
Lower respiratory tract infections 3,2
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 3,2
Respiratory cancer 1,7
Sugar 1,6
Alzheimer's disease and other dementias 1,5
Diarrheal diseases 1,4
1,4
Road traffic accidents 1,3

The UAE and Qatar have the lowest mortality rates. Much higher in African countries. On the territory of the Russian Federation, the indicators are high even among the working population. Death statistics in Russia reflect the specificity of its situation. When compared with countries with similar levels of wealth, the mortality rate in Russia is higher:


  • men – 3–5 times;
  • women - 2 times.

About 2 million people die in the country every year. Main causes of death according to statistics (2016):

  • diseases circulatory system – 900 thousand people, of which more than 400 thousand died from coronary disease;
  • oncology– about 300 thousand;
  • accidents and– more than 150 thousand;
  • excessive alcohol consumption– about 55 thousand

Sudden death


The syndrome is increasingly observed in the world sudden death. WHO statistics range from 20 to 150 cases per 100 thousand population. Young and completely healthy people die for no apparent reason. Still no unified theory this phenomenon. In Russia, statistics on sudden death annually total more than 60 thousand cases.

Babies often die from sudden respiratory arrest. An autopsy cannot determine its cause. Statistics of deaths in sleep indicate a sufficient prevalence of this phenomenon. In people older than 1 year, it can occur due to atrial fibrillation or cardiac arrest due to mitral valve prolapse.

A separate problem in sports medicine is unexpected death during competitions or training.

Death on the roads

The statistics of deaths in car accidents increases every year. About 1.3 million people aged 15 to 29 years die from injuries each year. Half of them are among the most vulnerable road users:

  • motorcyclists – 23%.
  • cyclists – 4%;
  • pedestrians – 22%.

Drug addiction problems

In Russia, drug addiction increases every year. Data for 2016:

  • 8 million people regularly take drugs. Of these, 60% are citizens aged 16–39 years;
  • use drugs periodically – about 18 million;
  • Every year the number of drug addicts increases by 90 thousand people.

Statistics of deaths from drugs total 70 thousand people a year. However, other reasons are often officially recorded:

  • accidents caused by inadequate condition;
  • suicide;
  • cases of violent death;
  • pathology internal organs;
  • -infections.

Statistics on deaths from drug overdose or psychotropic substances records 8 thousand cases annually. The most vulnerable category are teenagers who, at the age of 10, begin to try psychoactive drugs.

Consequences for the child's body

In recent years, there has been an increased mortality among adolescents from substance abuse. Main reasons:

  • rapid development of addiction;
  • availability of substances;
  • destructive effect on the child's body.

Possible consequences:

  • pulmonary hemorrhages;
  • liver damage;
  • tumors in the kidneys and lungs;
  • dysfunction of the brain.

According to the UN, the death toll statistics have increased several times. Every year the number of people using alcohol increases by 8%. different types drugs:

  • marijuana – 160 million people;
  • cocaine – 14 million;
  • heroin – 10.5 million

According to Wikipedia, marijuana has been legalized in some countries around the world. Marijuana death statistics recorded a surprising case in 2017. An 11-month-old baby has died in the United States. The cause of death was damage to the heart muscle caused by high levels of the main substance in the blood. active substance marijuana.

Alcoholism and smoking

Statistics of deaths from alcohol are regularly kept medical institutions. About 15–20% of all deaths are associated with a heart attack after drinking alcohol. Losses from are comparable to losses in. The number of alcoholics in the Russian Federation is more than 3% of the population. Although only 1.5% are registered dependent people. Number of deaths caused by regular alcohol consumption:

  • women – 14%;
  • men – 30%.

The death statistics also raise serious concerns. According to WHO:

  • annually more than 5 million people. dies from smoking-related diseases. According to forecasts, by 2020 their number will increase to 10 million;
  • In Russia, the mortality rate annually ranges from 400 to 500 thousand people.

The statistics on deaths from cigarettes are amazing. The share of citizens who died from smoking is almost half of the total. There are already cases of death from electronic cigarettes which have become popular among teenagers.

Infant mortality

More than 1.2 million children aged 10–19 die every year. Child death statistics show that largest share accounted for by road accidents – 115 thousand. The second reason is respiratory diseases and various infections. Death statistics for children under 5 years of age are usually associated with:

  • with pneumonia;
  • prematurity;
  • birth asphyxia;

The main risk group is children. The most high performance in African countries where access to quality health care is limited.

Deadly games

In 2016, death groups became widespread among teenagers. children increased by 60%. The children's consciousness was manipulated remotely, encouraging them to commit suicide using game techniques. Online death statistics in 2016 recorded 720 cases.

The police blocked almost 5 thousand links leading to prohibited sites. Such groups usually include children from dysfunctional families who need psychological support.

Statistics of deaths from " blue whale" shows that the game is gaining popularity in Europe. Its victims are teenagers from 12 to 18 years old. The first attempts were recorded in the Baltic states.

Difficult birth

Statistics on deaths during childbirth also show high rates:

  • 2015 – more than 300 thousand cases. Almost 99% are in developing countries;
  • 2016 – more than 200 thousand.

In 75% of cases, death is caused by:

All greater distribution receives death by negligence. The statistics of those registered are almost 15–20% of their total number. Every year, about 1.5 thousand deaths occur due to negligence, ignorance or side effects medicines.

Heart diseases

The statistics of deaths from heart disease and other pathologies increases every year. While mortality from dangerous infections has decreased significantly. Over 10 years (2006–2016):

  • mortality from infectious diseases and birth complications decreased by 24%;
  • death statistics decreased by 46%.

Today we took 1st place cardiovascular diseases. Every year they claim the lives of 17 million people. Indicators differ depending on the type of disease. The death rate from heart attacks is approximately 20–25%. Death from stroke occurs in 34% of citizens. About 40–42% die from ischemic disease.

The statistics of deaths from heart disease in Russia is about 55% of the total.

Oncological diseases

According to scientists, it will soon take the leading position in mortality. Cancer death statistics - 10 million people are diagnosed every year. More than 8 million patients die.

The most common area is malignant tumors of the female genital organs. Statistics of deaths from the uterus show that the disease is often detected at a late stage of development. Most cases are fatal.

IN last years The statistics of death from basal cell carcinoma has increased significantly. There is a chance of survival if treatment is started in a timely manner.

Dangerous infections

With the onset of spring in Russia, the danger of ticks increases. The statistics of deaths from encephalitis is 1–3% of the total number of cases in middle lane. In the Far Eastern regions the figure reaches 20%. The number of registered cases annually is about 3 thousand.

The threat of other dangerous infections is also high. Statistics of rabies deaths in Asian and African countries records thousands of cases every year, despite the availability of effective vaccines.

In recent years, death from influenza has become a frequent occurrence. Statistics note that the cause is not the disease itself, but the complications it gives to the heart and lungs. Between the ages of 5 and 19 years, the mortality rate from influenza is 0.9 cases per 100 thousand people.

The death rate from chickenpox is 1 case per 60 thousand patients. In adults, the chances of dying if the disease increases by 30–40 times.

Chasing a dream

Another reason for leaving life is the pursuit of beauty. The statistics of deaths from plastic surgery are still low. Death under anesthesia occurs in 1 person in 250 thousand operations. However, every life has value.

Since the middle of the last century, the number of cases associated with eating disorders has doubled. The death rate from anorexia among girls 15–24 years old is 12 times higher than from other girls. Anorexia and bulimia often cause suicide.

The danger of surrogates

Rising prices for vodka lead to an increase in the consumption of cheap alcohol. Statistics of deaths from surrogates:

  • 2013 – 13.5 thousand
  • 2014 – 14.0 thousand;
  • 2015 – 14.2 thousand

Death statistics worldwide are higher than for women. On average, men live 5.5 years less. Main causes of male mortality:

Conquering the peaks

Climbing to the top of a mountain can be deadly. The main goal Everest is a destination for many climbers. The statistics of deaths during the history of its conquest reached 250 people.

Climbing the legendary peak of the Caucasus seems deceptively easy. Death statistics on Elbrus record 15–20 deaths every year.

Expeditions to the top of Mount Kazbek are popular. Death statistics in Kazbek are not officially published. However, several climber fatalities are reported each year.

Extreme sport

High probability fatal outcome in extreme forms. Parachute death statistics:

  1. USA– from 1991 to 2000, more than 30 fatal jumps were recorded annually.
  2. Russia– more than 90 people died between 1998 and 2005.

The death statistics for paragliders count 12–13 deaths annually. BASE jumping is becoming increasingly popular. Death statistics highlight the main causes of tragedies:

  • incorrect jumping technique;
  • poor quality equipment;
  • errors in trajectory calculations.

An equally popular trend is selfies among roofers. Death statistics are increasing every year. Selfie comes out on top in the ranking of causes of death.

Death rates from falling from height increase with age. Number of cases per 100 thousand people:

  • 15–19 years old – 0.6;
  • 55–64 years – 4.7;
  • over 65 years old – 38.5.

Statistics of deaths from accidents annually total 100 thousand deaths.

Situation in different countries

Death statistics in Belarus largely depend on the type of disease (2016):

  • circulatory arrest – 65.9 thousand people;
  • oncology – 17.9 thousand;
  • other diseases – about 12 thousand.

Death statistics in Ukraine place the country in 4th place in the world. Mortality rates are 14.4 cases per 100 thousand population.

Death statistics in the Russian Federation are gradually decreasing:

  • 2001 – 2254.85 thousand;
  • 2006 – 2166.70 thousand;
  • 2010 – 2028.51 thousand;
  • 2015 – 1908.54 thousand;
  • 2017 – 1824.340 thousand.

Statistics of deaths in the Russian army:

  • 2012 – 630 people;
  • 2013 – 596 people;
  • 2014 – 790 people;
  • 2015 – 626 people.

US death statistics show that from 2001 to 2011, only firearms More than 11 thousand people died annually. While the terrorist attacks claimed the lives of 517 citizens. Later the figures dropped to 7 thousand.

Additional reasons

There is still ongoing debate about deaths from vaccinations. Statistics record only isolated facts around the world that require more thorough research.

Of the total number of deaths on the planet certain part caused by injury, negligence, natural phenomena. Let's look at a series of examples:

  • statistics of deaths in the bathroom - 1 case per 807 thousand people;
  • Every year about 30 thousand people die from electric shock;
  • in the United States, from 1998 to 2015, 663 children died after being left in cars;
  • statistics of deaths from lightning strikes - 1 case per 71 thousand people;
  • the risk of dying in a car accident is 1 in 20 thousand people;
  • mortality from tornadoes in America is 1 per 60 thousand people;
  • statistics on deaths from garage poisoning carbon monoxide in Russia – more than 300 people per year.

The statistics of violent deaths brought Russia to 3rd place. The indicators in 2015 were 10.2 people per 100 thousand population. Annually from domestic violence From 12 to 14 thousand women die.

Annual death statistics for dentists indicate that more than 30 patients have died as a result of the cardiotoxic effects of lidocaine.

Statistics of deaths of journalists for all time recorded the death of 850 media representatives mass media. Distribution by country:

  1. Iraq – 146 people.
  2. Philippines - 71.
  3. Algeria – 60.
  4. Russia – 53.
  5. Colombia – 43 people.

Dangerous animals

The statistics of animal deaths in the world exceeds the number of deaths in wars:

  • Every year, about 100 thousand people die from a deadly infection carried by shellfish;
  • 10 thousand lives are claimed by “sleeping sickness” from the bite of the Tsetse fly;
  • thousands of people die from malaria mosquito bites;
  • shark death statistics are only 10–15 per year.

Injury sports

One of the most dangerous sports is boxing. However, severe head injuries in the ring account for a small percentage of all injuries. Death statistics are 1.3 per 100 thousand people. Most deaths occur in Asian states, where fighters do not enjoy the necessary protection.

Military conflicts and terrorism

Terrorism has become one of the main problems of the 21st century. Statistics of deaths from terrorism in 2016 – 13.7 thousand killed and 16.6 thousand wounded. Most of the victims are in Iraq and Syria. As the scale of military conflicts expands, the statistics of deaths from hunger increases. Up to 10 million people die every year. Total number hungry – 850 million people. Of them:

  1. Asian region – 520 million
  2. Africa – 243 million
  3. Latin America and the Caribbean – 42 million

Adults are a phenomenon that takes root in daily life modern man. It is happening more and more often. But no one can say for sure that the deceased was seriously ill. That is, in fact, death occurs suddenly. There are a number of reasons and risk groups that can influence this phenomenon. What does the public need to know about sudden death? Why does it occur? Is there any way to avoid it? All features will be presented below. Only if you know about the phenomenon all the information known on this moment, you can try to somehow avoid a collision with similar situation. In fact, everything is much more complicated than it seems.

Description

Sudden adult death syndrome is a phenomenon that became widespread in 1917. It was at this moment that such a term was first heard.

The phenomenon of death, and causeless death, of a person with good health. Such a citizen, as already mentioned, did not have any serious illnesses. In any case, the person himself did not complain of any symptoms, and also did not receive treatment from a doctor.

There is no exact definition of this phenomenon. Exactly the same as the real mortality statistics. Many doctors argue about the reasons why this phenomenon occurs. Sudden adult death syndrome is a mystery that is still unsolved. There are many theories according to which they die. More about them below.

Risk group

The first step is to figure out who is most often exposed to the phenomenon being studied. The thing is that sudden adult death syndrome occurs quite often in Asians. Therefore, these people are at risk.

SIDS (sudden unexplained death syndrome) is also often observed in people who work a lot. That is, workaholics. In any case, this is the assumption made by some doctors.

The risk group includes, in principle, all people who:

  • unhealthy family environment;
  • hard work;
  • constant stress;
  • there are serious illnesses (but then death is usually not sudden).

Accordingly, the majority of the planet's population is exposed to the phenomenon being studied. No one is safe from it. According to doctors, during an autopsy it is impossible to establish the cause of a person’s death. This is why death is called sudden.

However, as already mentioned, there are several assumptions according to which the mentioned phenomenon occurs. Sudden death syndrome in an adult can be explained by several methods. What assumptions exist regarding this topic?

Man vs chemistry

The first theory is the effect of chemistry on the human body. Modern people surrounded by a variety of chemicals. They are everywhere: in furniture, medicines, water, food. Literally at every step. Especially in food.

There is very little natural food. Every day the body receives huge doses of chemicals. All this cannot pass without a trace. And so sudden adult death syndrome occurs. The body simply cannot withstand the next charge of chemistry that surrounds modern man. As a result, life activity ceases. And death comes.

The theory is supported by many. After all, as practice has shown, over the last century, unexplained deaths have begun to occur quite often. It was during this period that the progress of human development was observed. Therefore, we can consider the impact of environmental chemicals on the body as the first and most likely cause.

Waves

The following theory can also be scientifically explained. It's about about electromagnetic waves. It's no secret that a person has been under the influence of magnetism all his life. Pressure surges are very well felt by some people - they begin to feel bad. It proves Negative influence electromagnetic waves per person.

At the moment, scientists have proven that the Earth is the second most powerful planet in the world producing radio emissions. solar system. The body, being constantly in such an environment, suffers some kind of malfunction. Especially in combination with exposure to chemicals. And this is where sudden adult death syndrome arises. Actually electromagnetic waves force the body to stop performing functions to ensure human life.

It's all about breathing

And here next theory may seem somewhat non-standard and even absurd. But it is still actively promoted around the world. Quite often, sudden death syndrome occurs during sleep in an adult. Regarding this phenomenon, some put forward incredible assumptions.

The point is that during sleep the human body functions, but in an “economical” mode. And a person dreams during such periods of rest. Horror can cause the body to refuse to function. More precisely, breathing is impaired. It stops because of what it sees. In other words, out of fear.

That is, a person does not realize in a dream that everything that happens is not reality. As a result, he dies in life. As already said, a somewhat incredible theory. But it does happen. By the way, sudden death syndrome in infants during sleep is explained in a similar way. Scientists say that if, while resting, a child dreams that he is in the womb, then breathing will stop. And the baby “forgets” to breathe, since oxygen must be supplied to him through the umbilical cord. But all this is just speculation.

Infection

What else can you hear? What are the causes of sudden adult death syndrome? The following assumption generally looks like a fairy tale. But it is sometimes expressed.

As already said, an incredible, fabulous theory. There is no need to believe this assumption. Rather, such a story is an ordinary “scarecrow”, which was invented in order to somehow explain sudden death syndrome in adults.

Overwork

Now some information that is more like the truth. The thing is that, as already mentioned, Asians are at risk of people susceptible to sudden death syndrome. Why?

Scientists have put forward a certain assumption. Asians are people who work constantly. They work very hard. And so the body at one point begins to deplete. It “burns out” and “turns off.” As a result, death occurs.

That is, in fact, the sudden death of an adult occurs due to the fact that the body is overworked. Work is often to blame for this. As statistics show, if you pay attention to Asians, many die right at work. Therefore, you should not work to exhaustion all the time. This pace of life has a negative impact on health. A person does not show any other signs other than fatigue.

Stress

Also among the most common theories regarding death without cause is stress. Another assumption that you can believe in. As already mentioned, people who are constantly in a nervous environment have not only high risk the emergence of diseases and cancer, they are still classified as a high-risk population that may experience sudden death syndrome.

The theory is explained in almost the same way as in the case of permanent job and stress - the body “wears out” from stress, then “switches off” or “burns out.” As a result, death occurs without any apparent reason. The effects of stress cannot be detected at autopsy. Exactly the same as negative impact intense, systematic and continuous work.

Results

What conclusions follow from all of the above? Sudden night death syndrome, as well as daytime death in adults and children, is an unexplained phenomenon. Exists great amount various theories that allow one or another group of people to be classified as at risk. Doctors and scientists to this day cannot find an exact explanation for this phenomenon. Just like putting forward a clear definition of sudden death syndrome.

Only one thing is clear - in order to avoid a high risk of dying for no apparent reason, it is necessary to healthy image life, worry less and relax more. In modern conditions, bringing an idea to life is very problematic. In any case, doctors recommend at least minimizing tension and the amount of stress. Workaholics need to understand that they also need to rest. Otherwise, such people may die suddenly.

If you lead as healthy a lifestyle as possible, the likelihood of sudden death is minimized. Every person should remember this. No one is immune from the mentioned phenomenon. Scientists are trying to study it as best as possible and find the exact cause of this phenomenon. So far, as has already been emphasized, this has not been done. All that remains is to believe numerous theories.

At all times, people have been interested in: why does a person die? In fact, that's enough interest Ask, to answer which we can consider several theories that can shed light on this situation. There are many on this topic different opinions, but in order to understand what death is and why a person is susceptible to it, it is necessary to uncover the mystery of old age. For now a large number of scientists are struggling to solve this problem, putting forward completely different theories, each of which, one way or another, has the right to life. But, unfortunately, none of these theories have been proven at the moment, and this is unlikely to happen in the near future.

Theories related to aging

As for opinions on the question “Why does a person die?”, they are all as diverse as they are similar. What these theories have in common is that natural death always comes with old age. Defined Circle Scientists are of the opinion that old age as such begins at the moment of the emergence of life. In other words, as soon as a person is born, the invisible clock begins its reverse, and when the dial goes to zero, the person’s presence in this world will also cease.

There is an opinion that until a person reaches maturity, all processes in the body occur in the active stage, and after this moment they begin to fade away, along with this the number of active cells decreases, which is why the aging process occurs.

As for immunologists and some gerontologists who tried to find an answer to the question “Why does a person die?”, then, from their point of view, with age, autoimmune phenomena intensify in a person against the background of a decrease in the reaction of cells, which, in essence, leads to What the immune system the body begins to “attack” its own cells.

Geneticists, naturally, say that the whole problem lies in genes, while doctors argue that human death is inevitable due to body defects that accumulate throughout a person’s life.

Law of nature

Thanks to scientists from the USA who conducted research on this issue, it became known that people die while in the “kingdom of Morpheus”, mainly due to respiratory arrest. This occurs mainly in older people due to the loss of cells that control the breathing process, sending signals to the body to contract the lungs. In principle, such a problem can occur among a lot of people, its name is obstructive apnea, and this problem is the main one. But there cannot be such a cause of death as obstructive apnea. This is due to the fact that the person experiencing oxygen starvation(insufficiency), wakes up. And the cause of death is central sleep apnea. It should be noted that a person may even wake up, but still die due to lack of oxygen, which will result from a stroke or cardiac arrest. But, as mentioned earlier, this disease mainly affects older people. But there are also those who die before reaching old age. Therefore, a very reasonable question arises: why do people die young?

Death of the Young

It's worth starting with what Lately approximately 16 million girls in age category from 15 to 19 years old women become pregnant. At the same time, the risks of infant death are much higher than those of those girls who crossed the 19-year-old barrier. These problems are due to physiological factors, and psychological.

Not last reason is and poor nutrition, and this is due to both obesity and problems associated with anorexia.

Smoking. Drugs. Alcohol

Concerning bad habits, such as abuse of alcohol, nicotine, and even more so drugs, then this problem every year affects younger and younger segments of the population, who not only put their future children at risk, but also themselves.

Still, the most common cause of death among the young population is unintentional injuries. The reason for this can also be alcohol and drugs, not counting youthful maximalism, which cannot be discounted. Therefore, until teenagers reach adulthood, all responsibility for moral and psychological education rests entirely with the parents.

How does a person feel at the moment of death?

In fact, the question of a person’s feelings after death has worried all of humanity throughout its existence, but only recently have they begun to say with confidence that all people at the moment of death experience definitely the same feelings. This became known thanks to people who experienced clinical death. Most of them claimed that even lying on the operating table, being immobilized, they continued to hear and sometimes see everything that was happening around them. This is possible due to the fact that the brain is the last to die, and this happens mainly due to lack of oxygen. Of course, there are also stories about a tunnel, at the end of which bright light, but there is actually no reliability of this particular information.

Finally

Having delved into the problem and understood it, we can confidently answer the question: why does a person die? Quite often people ask themselves similar questions, but you should not devote your entire life to the problem of death, because it is so short that there is no time to spend it on understanding those problems for which humanity is not yet ready.

The death of Lenin - what Vladimir Ilyich really died from. Cause of death

Throughout 1923, newspapers reported on Lenin's health, creating new myth about a leader who steadfastly fights an illness: reads newspapers, is interested in politics, hunts. It is known that Lenin suffered a series of strokes: the first turned 52-year-old Ilyich into an invalid, the third killed him.

IN recent months During his life, Lenin hardly spoke, could not read, and his “hunting” looked like walking in a wheelchair. Almost immediately after his death, Lenin's body was opened to determine the cause of death. After a thorough examination of the brain, it was determined that there was a hemorrhage. They announced to the workers: “the dear leader died because he did not spare his strength and did not know rest in his work.”

During the days of mourning, the press strongly emphasized the sacrifice of Lenin, the “great sufferer.” This was another component of the myth: Lenin, indeed, worked a lot, but he was also quite attentive to himself and his health, did not smoke, and, as they say, did not abuse.

Almost immediately after Lenin’s death, a version appeared that the leader was poisoned on Stalin’s orders, especially since no tests were done that would have detected traces of poison in his body. It was assumed that another cause of death could be syphilis - the drugs at that time were primitive and sometimes dangerous, and venereal diseases in some cases can indeed provoke a stroke, but the leader’s symptoms, as well as the post-mortem autopsy, refuted these speculations. Detailed Report The first public bulletin, which was released immediately after the opening, contained only summary causes of death. But already on January 25, “ official results autopsy" with numerous details

Except detailed description brain, the results of a skin examination were given, down to the indication of each scar and injury, the heart was described and its exact size, the condition of the stomach, kidneys and other organs were indicated. British journalist, head of the Moscow branch of the New York Times, Walter Duranty, was surprised that such detail did not make a depressing impression on the Russians; on the contrary, “the deceased leader was an object of such intense interest that the public wanted to know everything about him.”

However, there is information that the report caused “shocked bewilderment” among the non-party Moscow intelligentsia and they saw in it a purely materialistic approach to human nature characteristic of the Bolsheviks. Such detailed anatomy and emphasis shifted to the inevitability of death could have another reason - the doctors, who “failed” to save the patient, were simply trying to protect themselves.
