Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine differences in avoidable mortality between males and females in the Umbria region (Italy). Data on deaths was obtained from the Regional mortality registry (RENCAM). Deaths which occurred in the years from 1994 to 2004 were classified into three groups, according to the type of intervention through which they may have been avoided: primary prevention, early detection and treatment or improved medical care. All causes of death were coded according to the IX and X revisions of the International Classification of Causes of Death.
