Abstract：Objective To investigate the death causes of cardiocerebrovascular diseases among residents in Zhongyuan District, Zhengzhou City during 2010-2014 so as to provide scientific evidence for developing their prevention and treatment strategies. Methods Based on the data from death-cause surveillance reports in Zhongyuan District, death-cause surveillance data cleaning and analysis software was used to analyze the death causes of cardiocerebrovascular diseases. Results Among the residents in Zhongyuan District during 2010-2014, 5,669 death cases were caused by circulation system diseases and the annual average mortality was 141.87/100,000, accounting for 41.70% of the total deaths. The total number of deaths induced by cardiocerebrovascular diseases was 5,467, accounting for 40.21% of the total deaths. The mortality rate of cerebralvascular diseases was 88.45/100,000, with the standardized mortality of 63.72/100,000. The mortality of heart diseases was 101.25/100,000, with the standardized mortality rate of 73.02/100,000. The mortality of heart disease was slightly higher than that of cerebralvascular diseases. Age was a main risk factor for cardiocerebrovascular diseases. The mortalities of cardio/cerebrovascular diseases were both significantly higher in the males than in the females. Conclusions Cardiocerebrovascular diseases are the leading causes of death among residents in Zhongyuan District. We should strengthen health education and control the risk factors so as to reduce the incidence and deaths of cardiocerebrovascular diseases.
