The increase in death and disease under "katstroika".

M Ellman

    Cambridge Journal of Economics
    |August 1, 1994
    PubMed
    Summary

    The collapse of the Soviet Union led to a significant increase in mortality and morbidity rates in its successor states. Life expectancy, particularly for men in Russia, sharply declined post-1991 due to these adverse effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Public Health
    • Post-Soviet Studies

    Background:

    • The dissolution of the Soviet Union (USSR) in 1991 created new geopolitical entities.
    • These successor states faced significant socioeconomic challenges following the collapse.
    • Understanding the impact on population health is crucial for policy development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze mortality and morbidity trends in former Soviet Union successor states.
    • To compare health outcomes during late perestroika (1987-1991) with post-Soviet trends.
    • To assess the adverse effects of the USSR's collapse on population health.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of mortality and morbidity data from successor states.
    • Comparative study of health indicators before and after 1991.

  • Examination of demographic trends in Russia, Ukraine, Tadjikistan, and Armenia.

    • Main Results:

    • A rapid and significant worsening of mortality trends observed across successor states post-1991.
    • Russia experienced a 26% rise in crude death rate between 1991-1993.
    • Male life expectancy in Russia fell by 6 years by 1993, dropping below medium-income country levels.
    • Increased mortality was even more pronounced in states with military conflicts, such as Tadjikistan and Armenia.

    Conclusions:

    • The collapse of the USSR had severe adverse effects on population mortality and morbidity.
    • Post-Soviet socioeconomic problems directly impacted public health indicators.
    • Urgent public health interventions are needed in these transitional states.
