- Abstract
Background: Diseases of the circulatory system are the main cause of death in Slovakia and all over the world and claim 17.9 lives every year, which is an estimated 32% of all causes of death. Up to 85% of deaths from the disease are caused by heart attack and stroke, and one-third of these deaths occur in people under 70 years of age. Aim: Analysis of data on the development of cardiovascular diseases based on health status indicators such as mortality and hospitalization. Methods: The materials were obtained from the databases of selected institutions and, in summary, from the Report on the Health Status of the Population of the Slovak Republic for the years 2011-2020. Institutions such as the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic, the National Center for Health Information, Social Insurance and the Office of Public Health of the Slovak Republic participated in the creation of this report. Results: During the observed period of 2011-2020 in the entire population in the Slovak Republic, diseases of the circulatory system dominated the causes of death. Since 2011, diseases of the circulatory system have had a downward trend, from 45.1% (2011) to 42.6% (2020). The most frequent causes of hospitalization during the observed period, regardless of gender, were diseases of the circulatory system (15.5% of the total number of hospitalizations; in the number of 151,593). Conclusion: During the monitored period 2011-2020, the causes of death in the entire population of the Slovak Republic were dominated by diseases of the circulatory system and tumors. The most frequent causes of hospitalization during the monitored period, regardless of gender, were diseases of the circulatory system.
