Main Article Content

Abstract

Understanding causes of death for different age groups of the population is important in guiding research as well as planning and directing health activities at the local and national level. In 2017, in Dien Bien province, Vietnam, the causes of death differed by age groups: For children aged 1 to under 5 years, the leading cause of death was pneumonia (41.3%); for children aged 5 - 14 years, drowning is the leading cause of death (22.2%); for those in the 15 - 49 age group, the leading cause of death was HIV/AIDS (9.6%); for those in the 50-59 age group, the leading cause of death was cerebrovascular accident (19.8%); For those older than 59 years old, the leading cause of death in the elderly was also cerebrovascular accident (23.9%). Notably, 77.9% of the deaths in our study occurred at home. This is a challenge that confound mortality and cause of death statistics since many sick people may return home when there is no hope of survival or no economic ability to pursue treatment.
