Available indicator

Mortality rate attributed to cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory disease
Target

3.4 By 2030, reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and well-being
Goal

3- Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Definition

This indicator is composed of two time series:

- Premature mortality rate (between ages 30 and 70) attributed to non-communicable diseases:
probability of dying between ages 30 and 70 from cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease.

- Mortality rate attributed to cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory disease per 100,000 inhabitants: Deaths attributed to cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory disease per 100,000 inhabitants.
Theoretical formula

Premature mortality rate attributed to non-communicable diseases

\[^{5}M_x = \frac{DENT_{x,x+5}^{t}}{PENT_{x,x+5}^{t}}\]

where:

$DENT_{x,x+5}^{t} =$ Deaths attributed to the 4 non-communicable diseases between exact age $x$ and exact age $x+5$ in year $t$

$P^{t} =$ population between exact age $x$ and exact age $x+5$ in year $t$

Mortality rate attributed to cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory disease per 100,000 inhabitants

\[TM_{ENT}^{t} = \frac{D_{ENT}^{t}}{P^{t}} \cdot 100.000\]

where:

$D_{ENT}^{t} =$ Deaths attributed to non-communicable diseases in year $t$

$P^{t} =$ population as of 1 July of year $t$

Observations

The following International Classification of Diseases codes are used for each of the non-communicable diseases:

  • cardiovascular diseases (ICD-10 codes I00-I99)
  • cancer (ICD-10 codes C00-C97)
  • diabetes (ICD-10 codes E10-E14)
  • chronic respiratory disease (ICD-10 codes J30-J98)

This section provides more information about the United Nations indicator or the European Union Sustainable Development Indicator, such as its rationale, international results, metadata, and other relevant statistics.

Rationale

Morbidity from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) among adults is increasing rapidly globally due to aging and epidemiological transitions. Cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases are the four leading causes of the NCD burden. Measuring the risk of dying from these four leading causes is important for assessing the extent of the premature NCD mortality burden in a population, assuming they would experience current mortality rates at any age and would not die from any other cause of death (e.g., injuries or HIV/AIDS).

The mortality rate attributed to cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease is the probability of dying between ages 30 and 70 from cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease, defined as the percentage of 30-year-olds who would die before reaching age 70 from cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease, assuming they would experience current mortality rates at any age and would not die from any other cause of death (e.g., injuries or HIV/AIDS).
