Mortality patterns in men aged 35-74 varied significantly across seven countries over 35 years. Lifestyle factors like diet, smoking, and hypertension treatment likely explain these diverse mortality trends.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Significant shifts in age-adjusted mortality rates (35-74 years) among men have been observed over the past 35 years.
  • International comparisons reveal diverse mortality patterns across populations with differing lifestyles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze and compare mortality trends in men across seven representative countries.
  • To identify potential lifestyle-related factors influencing observed mortality changes.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of age-adjusted mortality data (35-74 years) from seven countries over a 35-year period.
  • Examination of trends in all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality.
  • Correlation with changes in dietary habits, smoking prevalence, and hypertension management.

Main Results:

  • Mortality from all causes decreased most in Japan and increased most in Hungary.
  • Cardiovascular mortality declined in most countries from 1970, but remained stable in Sweden and rose in Hungary.
  • Cancer mortality generally trended upward, stabilizing in the last 15 years, except in Hungary.

Conclusions:

  • Observed mortality changes in men are strongly linked to variations in lifestyle factors.
  • Dietary habits, smoking, and hypertension treatment are key determinants of mortality trends across diverse populations.
