Features: The purpose of studying population death is to promote the reduction of population death by understanding death, which is to promote population health. This book proposes a positive idea of linking death levels, patterns, trends, causes, and population health together. A society after the decline in death rates should not only be a low-mortality society but also a healthy society. Currently, the death rate of China's population is already very low, and the future trend is towards even lower levels. Across the country, some regions still have relatively high death rates, especially in western provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions. The analysis in this book provides some insights into the patterns of death by age, gender, and causes in these provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions, but more in-depth research is still needed. As the book states, many of the data adjustments are still preliminary, and the conclusions of the research are also preliminary. China's Population Death and Health systematically expands the thinking of China's population death research and points out the directions for further research. The authors have done an important job that is both academically valuable and practically significant, which will undoubtedly encourage more researchers and managers to participate and achieve greater results, making positive contributions to the comprehensive construction of a moderately prosperous society.
