Description
Summary:All ex-Yugoslav countries experienced improvementsinlife expectancy during the last few decades. This study describes and compares recent life expectancy trendsinCroatia, Serbia and Slovenia. What age groups and what causes ofdeath account for the largest mortality declines? Have the three countries joined the cardiovascular revolution?Dopatterns differ between countries? And, isthere room for further improvements?We use life tables and decomposition methodstoaddress these questions. Our key findings are: 1) lower mortality from circulatory diseases at older ages contributed mosttolife expectancy growth 2001-2017 for both sexesinall three countries;2)despite this common pattern, life expectancyinSlovenia grew fastest and the gap between countries increased; 3) under the Slovenian age-specific cardiovascular mortality schedule, Croatia added 1.79 years toboth female and male life expectancies, while Serbia added 3.97 and 3.26tofemale and male life expectancies. Ocekivano trajanje zivota raste u svim zemljama bivse Jugoslavije. Ovaj rad opisuje i usporeduje recentne trendove u ocekivanom trajanju zivota u Hrvatskoj, Srbiji i Sloveniji. Sto je potaknulo najnoviji porast? U kojim se dobnim skupinama i kod kojih se uzroka smrti biljezi najveci pad mortaliteta? Jesu li se tri zemlje pridruzile kardiovaskularnoj revoluciji? Postoje li razlike medu zemljama? Ima li prostora za daljnji napredak? Kako bismo ponudili odgovore na ova pitanja, u istrazivanju upotrebljavamo tablice dozivljenja i dekompozicijsku analizu. Kljucni su nalazi: 1) pad smrtnosti od bolesti cirkulacijskoga sustava medu starijim stanovnistvom najvise je pridonio rastu ocekivanoga trajanja zivota 2001-2017 kod obaju spolova u svim trima zemljama, 2) ocekivano trajanje zivota u Sloveniji raslo je najbrze i povecao se jaz medu zemljama, 3) pod slovenskim stopama kardiovaskularnoga mortaliteta prema dobi, u Hrvatskoj bi ocekivano trajanje zivota poraslo za 1,79 godina i kod zena i kod muskaraca, a u Srbiji za 3,97 godina kod zena, odnosno za 3,26 godina kod muskaraca. Keywords: life expectancy, age- and cause-specific mortality, past and potential gains in life expectancy, decomposition analysis, ex-Yugoslav countries Kljucne rijeci: ocekivano trajanje zivota, smrtnost prema dobi i uzroku, prosli i buduci rast ocekivanog trajanja zivota, dekompozicijska analiza, zemlje bivse Jugoslavije
