Abstract: Objective To analyze the mortality characteristics of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases among residents in Yunfu City in 2019, and provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of chronic diseases. Methods The mortality data of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Yunfu City in 2019 were collected, and the crude mortality, standardized mortality, life expectancy, and potential years of life lost (PYLL) were analyzed. Results In 2019, the crude mortality rate of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Yunfu City was 253.14/100 000 (standardized mortality rate was 190.42/100 000), accounting for 46.42% of all causes of death. The crude and standardized mortality rates of males were higher than those of females. The top three causes of death from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were cerebrovascular diseases, ischemic heart diseases, and other heart diseases. The mortality rate of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases increased with age. The life expectancy after removal of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases was 96.36 years, and the life expectancy lost due to death of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases was 14.43 years. PYLL, PYLL rate, and average years of life lost in males were higher than those in females. Conclusions Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the main causes of death for residents in Yunfu City. Males, elderly women, and people over 45 years old are the focus of the prevention and control of chronic diseases in Yunfu City, and targeted measures should be taken to prevent them.
