Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: The article presents analysis of mortality because of external causes in population of the Sakhalin Region in 2011-2014. It is demonstrated that about a half of all losses because of external causes were determined by injuries with uncertain intentions. The analysis of picture of mortality because of injuries with uncertain intentions was implemented demonstrating that mortality because of alcohol intoxications exceeds official indices up to 5.6 times in males and up to 3.6 times in females. It is possible to suppose with higher degree of probability that losses because of suicides in the oblast exceeded official indices more than thrice and because of suicides more than 2.5 times. The noted problems are actual not only for the Sakhalin Region but for Russia on the whole.
