A cross-sectional survey-based for all causes of mortality was performed
for all 233 communes, and then identified eligible communes for
both completeness and accuracy in the Hanoi city. Age-standardized
mortality rates per 100,000 for all causes were 683.8 in male and 294 for
female. For the 18 ICD-10 groups of diseases, age-standardized mortality
rates per 100,000 for the five most common groups of diseases were 220.7,
140.2, 90.1, 41.4, and 19.4 for CVD, cancer, respiratory, injury, and infectious,
respectively in males, and they were 105.0, 49.1, 43.1, 11.0, and
6.6 for CVD, cancer, respiratory, injury, and digestive, respectively in
females. The proportion of deaths due to the three leading groups of
CVD, cancer and injury was 60% in males and 54% in females.
