during 2008 to one death. Infant mortality is mainly as a result of: immaturity, low birth weight, sudden unexpected death in infancy, congenital malformations and infection. The emphasis on reducing smoking during pregnancy, teenage pregnancy obesity, improved parental nutrition and an increase in breast feeding contribute to reducing the number of deaths in the first year of life. Mortality during 2009 Figure 13: Mortality in Copeland, 2009 Copeland mortality, 2009 by age group Percentage 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 0-74 years 75+ years 194 263 457 142 107 249 Male Female Persons During 2009 in Copeland there were 706 deaths, see figure 13. This is a 5% reduction on the previous years’ figure of 746 deaths. Just over a third of all deaths in 2009 were to people aged below 75 years of age. In terms of gender, just over two fifths of all male deaths were premature. For women, over one quarter of all deaths is classed as premature. Premature mortality during 2009 fell by 16% when compared with the previous year (295 deaths). There was an 18% reduction in the number early deaths in females during the year. Male deaths declined by 14%.

Figure 15: Premature mortality: cause of death in Copeland, 2009 Copeland premature mortality, 2009 Cancer, 34% Cancer, 44% Circulatory, 32% Circulatory, 21% Respiratory , 13% Respiratory , 12% Digestive, 4% Digestive, 6% Other , 18% Other , 18% Male Female Figure 15 shows premature mortality by main cause of death. For this age group cancer is the primary cause of death, accounting for almost two out of five deaths. Proportionately more women than men will die from cancer in this age group. Premature deaths from circulatory disease The main behavioural risk factors that contribute to high levels of circulatory disease are: smoking, diet and levels of physical activity. In Copeland premature mortality for this disease group are above the county and national level for males and females. Figure 16: Premature mortality from circulatory disease by gender DSR Premature Mortality: All circulatory disease, males (directly standardised rates) 210.0 190.0 170.0 150.0 130.0 110.0 90.0 England Cumbria Copeland 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 DSR 100.0 90.0 80.0 70.0 60.0 50.0 40.0 30.0 Premature Mortality: All circulatory disease, females (directly standardised rates) England Cumbria Copeland 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Figure 16 shows the trend in premature mortality from circulatory diseases. Until 2008 there was a general downward trend in mortality for both sexes. During the year the male mortality rate increased to 127 deaths per 100,000 men (53 deaths); placing it above the county and national rate of around 100 males deaths per 100,000. Recent figures for 2009 show that the number of deaths has fallen by 15% to 45 deaths. During 2008 female mortality rates increased to 62 deaths per 100,000 women (28 deaths). This is above county and national rates of 49 female deaths per 100,000 and 44 female deaths per 100,000 respectively. Figures for 2009 show that the number of deaths reduced by 21% to 22 female deaths. Copeland Health Profile J Clay 13
