Introduction

Ranking causes of death is an informative way to present mortality statistics, supplementing other measures of mortality such as death rates andlife table. Statistical tables in this publication were prepared to serve as a reference tool for health professionals and anyone requiring informationon current mortality patterns in Canada.

The present publication replaces the Leading Causes of Death at Different Ages, Canada, catalogue no. 84F0503XPB.

Previous leading causes of death publications of Statistics Canada were based on earlier versions of International Statistical Classification ofDiseases (ICD). For this publication, causes of death are coded to the 10th revision of the World Health Organization’s International StatisticalClassification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD–10)1.

There are three series of data tables in this publication. First series of tables presents the ten leading causes of death in Canada for 10 age groups(all ages, 1 to 14, and ten–year age groups from 15 to 24 to 85 and over) by sex and for the most recent five years. The reference year for theranking is the most recent year. Further information is available for leading causes of death ranked by five–year age groups in CANSIM table 102–0561.

Second series of tables presents the ten leading causes of infant death (less than one year old) in Canada by sex for the most recent five years.The reference year for the ranking is the most recent year. Further information is available for more leading causes of infant death in CANSIM table102–0562.

The third series of tables presents the ten leading causes of death for Canada and each province or territory by sex, for 2005. The ‘Canada’ leveldata is the reference for the ranking of these ten leading causes of death. Further information is available for an expanded list of leading causes ofdeath by province and territory in CANSIM table 102–0563.

From the approximately 8,000 ICD–10 codes valid for underlying causes of death, aggregated groups of causes of death called “short lists” weredeveloped for use in the summary list of causes of death and to rank the leading causes of death. The short lists of ICD-10 used to rank theleading causes of death and the methodology used to select the rankable causes were developed by the National Center for Health Statistics(NCHS) of the U.S Department of Health and Human Services2.

The number of deaths is used as the ranking criteria because it most accurately reflects the frequency of cause-specific mortality. The 50 rankablecauses of death, as shown in Appendix 1, were selected from the short list of 113 selected causes of death developed by NCHS for use with ICD–10. Causes of death are ranked according to the number of deaths assigned to each of the 50 rankable causes shown in the Appendix 1.

The 71 rankable causes of infant death, as shown in Appendix 2, were selected from the short list of 130 selected causes of infant death developedby NCHS for use with ICD–10. Causes of infant death are ranked according to the number of deaths assigned to each of the 71 rankable causespresented in the Appendix 2.

The ranking of leading causes has limitations; it describes the rank order, by number of deaths, of each cause of death from a selected list ofcauses. The ranking alone cannot measure the relative risk of death. Further, any comparisons of leading causes by region or by year do not takeinto account the differences in the population age structure.

Highlights

The methodology used in this publication to select the leading causes of death was developed by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)of the U.S Department of Health and Human Service .

Overview

In 2005, the 10 leading causes of death in Canada were the same as the previous year, accounting for 78% of all deaths, a decrease ofabout one percentage point from 2004. Cancer, heart disease and stroke, the three leading causes of death, were responsible for 58% of alldeaths in Canada. From 2004 to 2005, the relative burden of deaths due to unintentional injuries had the largest increase (6%), followed by Chronic lowerrespiratory diseases (5%) and Alzheimer’s disease (4%). In contrast, the relative burden of stroke had the sharpest decline (-4%). From 2001 to 2005, the number of deaths increased as Canadian population aged, but mortality rates decreased. The age–standardizedmortality rates dropped sharply for stroke (20%), followed by heart disease (15%) and cancer (5%) in the same period.

Sex differences

The proportional representation of the 10 leading causes of death was higher for males compared to females. In 2005, the relative burden ofthe 10 leading causes of male deaths was 80% compared to 77% of female deaths. From 2004 to 2005, the ranking of the three leading causes of death—cancer, heart disease, and stroke—remained unchanged for females.However, unintentional injuries placed third as leading cause of male deaths in 2005, mainly due to the increase in the number deaths (7%)combined with a decrease of deaths due to stroke (-3%). In 2005, hypertension emerged as a 10 leading cause of death for females. Between 2001 and 2005, female deaths due to hypertensionincreased in importance by climbing from the 17 leading cause of female deaths to the 10 . In 2005, the largest difference in the ranking between the sexes was for hypertension (19 for males and 10 for females), Alzheimer’sdisease (10 for males and 5 for females), suicide (7 for males and 12 for females) and unintentional injuries (3 for males and 7 forfemales). From 2004 and 2005, among the 10 leading causes of deaths, the largest relative increase for males was for unintentional injuries followedby Alzheimer’s disease, suicide and Chronic lower respiratory diseases, whereas for females it was hypertension, Chronic lower respiratorydiseases and Influenza and pneumonia.

Age patterns

The proportional representation of the 10 leading causes of death in 2005 varied among age groups. The heaviest relative burden was forthose aged 55 to 64 and 15 to 24 with 85% of all deaths. Deaths due to the 10 leading causes were the least concentrated for the youngestand the oldest, those aged 1 to 14 (70%) followed by 85 and over (76%). In 2005, the ranking of the first and second leading causes of death remained the same as in 2004 across age groups. For those aged 1 to 44 years, unintentional injuries or suicide or both were the two leading causes of death in 2005, they were responsiblefor 42% of deaths. For those aged 45 and over, cancer and heart disease were the two leading causes of death, their relative burden was 54% in 2005. For those aged 55 to 64, unintentional injuries ranked as the third leading cause of death in 2005, displacing diabetes to the fourth rank.

For those aged 85 and older, Chronic lower respiratory diseases emerged from the sixth in 2004 to the fourth rank in 2005, displacingAlzheimer’s disease and Influenza and pneumonia. For those aged 25 to 34, HIV emerged from seventh in 2004 to the sixth leading cause of death in 2005 displacing congenital anomalies.Cerebrovascular diseases also emerged from ninth to seventh rank, displacing congenital anomalies and diabetes. For those aged 35 to 44, liver disease ranked 6 in 2005 outranked Cerebrovascular diseases to the 7 rank while Influenza and pneumoniaranked 10 displacing congenital anomalies.

Geographic differences

The relative burden of the 10 leading causes of death in 2005 varied among the provinces and territories. The heaviest relative burden wasfor Nunavut with 90% of all deaths followed by Yukon (85%). The Atlantic provinces (Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island,Nova Scotia and New Brunswick), Quebec and Ontario had a relative burden higher than the national level of 78%. For the Westernprovinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia) and Northwest Territories the relative burden was lower than the nationallevel. Cancer was still the leading causes of death for all provinces and territories in 2005, except for Prince Edward Island, where it rankedsecond. With the exception of Prince Edward Island, heart disease was the second leading causes of death for all provinces and Yukon in 2005. In the Northwest Territories, unintentional injuries emerged from the fourth rank in 2004 to the second in 2005 displacing heart disease andsuicide. Compared to 2004, suicide was still the second leading cause of death for Nunavut. In 2005, unintentional injuries emerged in higher ranks in three provinces and one territory, but dropped in ranks in Prince Edward Islandand Nunavut. Chronic Lower respiratory diseases also moved up in rank in Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and in the three territories in 2005.

2. An infant death is the death of a child under one year of age.3. The ranking of the leading causes of death is based on the number of infant deaths.4. The infant mortality rate is the number of deaths of infants aged less than one year during a given year per 100,000 live births in the same year.5. Infant mortality rate calculations in this table use live births in the calendar year as denominator (see the publication "Births" catalogue number 84F0210XIE).Note(s): See "Introduction", "Glossary" and "Definitions, data sources and methods" sections.Source(s): Statistics Canada, Canadian Vital Statistics, Death Database (CANSIM table 102-0562).

Glossary

The definitions used for the production of statistical tables of Canadian vital statistics data are based on those recommended by the World HealthOrganization1and the United Nations2. Age: Age attained at the last birthday preceding death. In the case of infant deaths, the completed number of months (or minutes, hours, or days)since birth. Cause of death: The cause of death coded and tabulated is the underlying cause of death. This is defined as “(a) the disease or injury whichinitiated the train of morbid events leading directly to death, or (b) the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced the fatal injury”.This underlying cause of death is selected from a number of conditions listed on the medical certificate of cause of death.

Beginning in the year 2000 in Canada, causes of death and stillbirth are coded to the 10th revision of the World Health Organization’sInternational Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD–10). The previous revision, ICD–93 was used inCanada for the classification of cause of death and stillbirth from 1979 to 1999.

Death: The permanent disappearance of all evidence of life at any time after a live birth has taken place. Stillbirths are excluded from deathstatistics unless otherwise indicated.

Infant death: Death of a child under one year of age.

ICD–10 codes: The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) codes, 10th Revision, were establishedby the World Health Organization in 1992. The ICD–10 manual assigns codes to specific diseases, injuries and causes of death. Live birth: The complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception, irrespective of the duration of the pregnancy, which,after such separation, breathes or shows any other evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definitemovement of voluntary muscles, whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached. Mortality rates

Age–standardized mortality rate: Age–standardization removes the effects of differences in the age structure of populations among areasand over time. Age-standardized mortality rates show the number of deaths per 100,000 population that would have occurred in a givenarea if the age structure of the population of that area was the same as the age structure of a specified standard population.

The formula for an age–standardized mortality rate r is:

where,

For age group i:

di is the age-sex-specific death count for a particular cause of death for a given year and geographic area,

piis the age-sex-specific population estimates for July 1 of the same year and geographic area, and

is the weight for that age group in a standard population. This standard population and calculated weights are reproduced below. Note that thesame weight is used for each sex.

To yield a rate per 100,000 population, r is multiplied by 100,000.

The standard population used in the calculation of age-standardized mortality rates is the 1991 Canadian Census of Population, by age group,both sexes combined.

Age–specific mortality rate: The number of deaths in a particular age group during a given year per 100,000 population in the same agegroup as of July of the same year.

Infant mortality rate: The number of infant deaths duringa given year per 100,000 live births in the same year.

Population: Persons whose usual place of residence is somewhere in Canada, including Canadian government employees stationed abroad andtheir families, members of the Canadian Forces stationed abroad and their families, crews of Canadian merchant vessels, and non-permanentresidents of Canada.

Mid-year (July 1) population estimates are used to calculate the rates in vital statistics publications (see table footnotes). Population estimates arefrequently revised by Statistics Canada's Demography Division.

Provinces and territories: The geographic distribution of deaths in the tables of this publication is based on the deceased’s usual place ofresidence.

Rank of leading causes of death: The rank is based on the number of deaths of each leading cause of death. When there is the same number ofdeaths for more than one leading cause, the ranks assigned will be the same. Consequently, the next rank in line will be incremented by thenumber of equal ranks. For example, if there are three leading causes of death with 4th rank, the next leading cause will be rank 7th.
