Reducing the mortality rate of the population: general, in childhood and people of working age is a priority goal of the federal and regional authorities. However, an increase in the proportion of the population in older ages in the total population, and an increase in life expectancy leads to an aging of the population as a whole, and, consequently, to an increase (all other things being equal) of the relative mortality rates of the entire population. The potential for mortality reduction is a reduction in mortality due to external causes: from accidents, poisoning, injuries, drug and alcohol exposure. Strengthening the physical and mental health of the population will also contribute to this component decrease.
