Definitions

Data refer to the probability of persons dying between the ages of 30 and 70 years from the specified diseases (cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease) among residents population (i.e., Singapore citizens and permanent residents) of the specified sex.

Concepts

Data are defined according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes: Cardiovascular disease (I00-I99), Cancer (C00-C97), Diabetes (E10-E14), and Chronic Respiratory Diseases (J30-J98).
The probability of dying is defined as the proportion of 30-year-olds who would die before their 70th birthday from cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease, assuming that they would experience current mortality rates at every age and would not die from any other cause of death (e.g., injuries or HIV/AIDS). This indicator is calculated using life table methods.

Computational Method

[A] Construct a life table based on the age-specific death rates for the specified diseases.
[B] Probability of dying between the ages of 30 and 70 years from these causes of deaths was calculated from the respective life tables.

Disaggregation

Disaggregation is available by sex and type of diseases (cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory disease).

Data Source

Ministry of Health (MOH)

Data Collection

Input data for the life table include resident death data from the Singapore Registry of Births and Deaths and resident population count data from Singstat website.
