Leading causes of death in Israel - summary

The publication “Leading causes of death, 2000-2012” presents trends in mortality rates by

cause of death, age, gender and year in the last decade, international comparisons with

Europe, Canada and the USA, and follows the methodology of the USA publications on leading

causes of death1. The publication was prepared by the Health Information Division of the

Ministry of Health and is a continuation of a series of publications on this subject. The

information is based on the notification of death form legally required by the Ministry of the

Interior. The coding of death causes is done by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), based

on this form and supplementary information from other data sources. This notification of

death form includes the immediate cause of death, the train of events that led to this cause,

and other significant diseases, conditions or injuries that contributed to death but not directly

resulting in previous chain of events. Data is presented here on the underlying cause of death,

defined as the cause that initiated the train of events leading to death, or the circumstances

of the accident or violence that produced the fatal injury, and chosen by the CBS from the

causes written by the doctor on the notification of death form according to definitions and

conventions of the International Classification of Diseases. In addition, data is presented on

multiple causes of death, which include all causes mentioned on the death notification.

Trends

In the last decade, rates of death from most causes have been decreasing. Crude total

mortality decreased by about a tenth between 2000 and 2012, by 14% for males and 9% for

females. Cancer is the leading cause of death from 1999 in both genders, followed by heart

disease. For most of the period, 1999-2012, cerebrovascular disease was the third and

diabetes the fourth cause. These four causes together accounted for about half of all deaths

in 2012 (53% for males, 52% for females), compared to a higher proportion in 2000 (57% for

males, 60% for females).

The average crude mortality rate for 2010-2012 showed a significant decrease compared to

1999-2001 of about a third for heart disease (35% for males, 32% for females), and about a

quarter for cerebrovascular disease (27% for males, 23% for females) and diabetes (22% for

males, 25% for females). Deaths from accidents decreased by about a third for males (35%)

and 17% for females. The mortality rate decreased for chronic lower respiratory disease

(CLRD) by about a fifth over this period (19% for males, 23% for females).

However, an increase in crude mortality rate for 2010-2012 compared to 1999-2001 was

found for other causes. The highest increase was for dementia, which more than doubled, an

increase of 111% for males and 116% for females. Other high increases were for mortality

due to septicemia (71% for both genders), Alzheimer‘s disease (57% for males, 78% for

females), influenza and pneumonia (13% in males, 25% in females), pneumonitis due to solids

and liquids (30% in males, 49% in females). Mortality rates from kidney disease rose till 2006,

but were somewhat lower and stable in the following years

International Comparison

The age adjusted mortality rate in Israel was low in comparison to the USA and most European

countries. In 2012, the rate in Israel was 928 per 100,000 population, compared to a similar

rate in Italy (923) and lower rates in France (871), Canada (881), Switzerland (882) and Spain

(898). In 17 other selected European countries and in the USA, rates were higher. Amongst

males, Israel had the lowest mortality rate of all European countries (1,068), with a lower rate

only in Canada (1,051), while amongst females, Israel’s rates were 5th lowest in Europe (814),

after France (669), Spain (703), Switzerland (739), Italy (755) and also Canada (748).

International comparison - Ranking of causes of death

Cancer was the leading cause of death in Israel in 2012, and heart disease the second ranking

cause, as in the USA, Canada and most West European countries, other than Finland,

Germany, Sweden, Austria and Greece where the rank was reversed. The third cause of death

in Israel was cerebrovascular disease, as in the average of the 15 Western EU countries, but

the 4th cause was diabetes, which had a similar rank only in Austria, was ranked 5th in Italy and

Portugal, 6th in Germany and 7th or higher in the USA, Canada and other European countries.

Dementia, recently added to the Eurostat database was amongst the 5 leading causes in

several countries, ranking 3rd in Holland and Canada, 4th in the USA, UK and Sweden, and 5th

in Norway, Denmark, Germany, Spain and for the 15 EU country average, but only 8th in Israel.

Accidents were the 3rd ranked cause in the USA and France, and 4th in the 15 EU countries,

while only 8th in Israel. CLRD were the 3rd cause in the USA, 4th for the 15 EU countries and

4th or 5th for most European countries while only 7th in Israel. However septicemia, which is

an increasing cause in Israel, was ranked 5th, while it was not amongst the 10 leading causes

in most countries.

International comparison - Mortality rates by cause of death

The age adjusted mortality rate was low in Israel compared to the USA, Canada and most

European countries for cancer, heart disease, liver diseases, Alzheimer disease, accidents and

suicide and lower than most European countries for cerebrovascular disease. But it was higher

for septicemia, diabetes, kidney disease, and hypertension, 5.2, 2.4, 3.1 and 2.0 times higher

respectively than the 15 EU country average.

Ranking of leading causes of death in Israel by age

On average in 2010-2012, cancer was the leading underlying cause of death for total deaths,

and amongst females aged 25-74 and males over 25. Heart disease was the leading cause for

females over 75, and the second cause for males over 45 and females aged 45-74. For both

genders, accidents were the leading cause for age 15-24 and the second cause for 25-44.

Suicide was the second cause of death for males aged 15-24, and the 3rd cause for males aged

25-44 and females aged 15-44.

All ages: In recent years, about a quarter of all male and female deaths in Israel were from

cancer, and a fifth from heart disease. The 3rd and 4th causes were cerebrovascular disease

and diabetes, whose rates have been similar in recent years, and the following cause was

kidney disease. These five leading causes account for about 60% of all deaths in recent years.

Age 0-4: In 2012, conditions of the perinatal period (perinatal) and congenital malformations,

deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (congenital conditions) were the leading

causes, followed by accidents. These causes accounted for about 70% of deaths at this age.

Age 5-14: Accidents and cancer were the leading causes for boys in 2012, while they had the

opposite ranking for girls. For boys the 3rd cause was congenital conditions, with the same

number of deaths as accidents for girls.

Age 15-24: In 2012, the external causes of accidents, suicide and homicide were the 3 leading

causes for boys. For girls, too, accidents were the leading cause followed by cancer (4th for

boys) and suicide.

Age 25-44: Cancer was the leading cause for both genders in 2012, suicide 2nd and accidents

3rd for males, with the reverse ranking for females, followed by heart disease 4th and homicide

5th for both genders. Amongst males, poisoning with undetermined intent was the next cause,

which may be connected with drug abuse.

Age 45-74: The 3 leading causes for both genders in 2012 were the same: cancer, heart

disease, and diabetes while cerebrovascular disease was the 4th cause for females aged 45-74

and males aged 65-74. Suicide was the 4th cause for males aged 45-64 and accidents the 5th

cause, while for females the 5th cause was CLRD. For ages 65-74 kidney disease was the 5th

cause for males and septicemia the 6th with the reverse ranking for females.

Age 75 and over: In 2012, cancer was the leading cause for males and heart disease the

second, the ranking was reversed for females. Cerebrovascular disease was the 3rd cause for

both genders, kidney disease 4th for males and diabetes 4th for females and 5th for males.

Septicemia ranked 5th for females and 6th for males. Dementia, a disease which has increased

considerably as underlying cause in recent years, was 6th for females.

Multiple causes of death

Multiple causes of death include all causes mentioned on the death certificate. The ranking of

multiple causes differs from that of the underlying cause. On average for the years 2010-2012,

the leading cause mentioned most frequently on the notification of death form was heart

disease, found in 43% of deaths. Cancer was 2nd, in 28% of deaths, and septicemia was the 3rd

most frequent, mentioned in 27% of deaths. The 4th cause was kidney disease for males

(mentioned in 20% of their deaths) and hypertension for females (23% of deaths), which was

the 5th cause for males. Diabetes was 5th in females and 6th in males, and cerebrovascular

disease was 7th for both genders.
