[Effect of potential population viability in active age on socioeconomic well being of society].

Loss of potential life man/years in the active period (16-69 years) is analyzed. 353,453 man/years, 48.88% of these in the capable age, were lost in 1998 in the region. 30 births were not realized. Although females predominate in the population, loss of males is much higher. The majority of deaths is due to exterior causes, circulatory diseases, and tumors. However by the mean duration of lost potential per case, the main causes are infections, urinary diseases, and respiratory or gastrointestinal diseases. These data and further analysis for individual nosological entities will help improve the efficiency of public health.
