This topic area covers statistics and information relating to causes of death in Hull including local strategic need and service provision. Further information on deaths is available under different specific diseases within Health Factors under Adults, and under Stillbirths and Infant Mortality under Pregnancy, Infants and Early Years within Children and Young People. Further information on where people die (hospital, care home, at home, etc) can be found under Palliative and End of Life Care under Health Factors under Adults. Further information relating to the causes of death where there is an excess number of deaths in Hull which contribute to the reduced life expectancy in Hull when compared to England and to the reduced life expectancy in the most deprived areas of Hull compared to the least deprived areas of Hull can be found within Life Expectancy and Healthy Life Expectancy under Population.
This page contains information from the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities’ Fingertips. Information is taken ‘live’ from the site so uses the latest available data from Fingertips and displays it on this page. As a result, some comments on this page may relate to an earlier period of time until this page is next updated (see review dates at the end of this page).
In July 2022, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) ceased to exist and were replaced by the Integrated Care System. Data will still be available at CCG level for some time after July 2022 so this page continues to refer to CCGs and Hull CCG, and continues to present data at the CCG geographical level. Six local CCGs were also combined to form the Humber, Coast and Vale geographical area, which has also ceased to exist. It has been replaced by the Humber and North Yorkshire ICS. However, data will still be available at Humber, Coast and Vale geographical level, and will be presented within our JSNA.
The Office for National Statistics ‘back-date’ their recent estimates of the resident population once more accurate Census data becomes available. Their revised estimates were released for each local authority on the 23 November 2023. However, the back-dated population estimates for lower geographies (e.g. wards) are not due to be published until June 2024. This has delayed the updating of this page as these population estimates are used to calculate mortality rates in the local analyses. The Office for Health Improvement & Disparities updated the majority of their indicators that relied on population estimates in February, but not all indicators were updated and some trend may still be missing from Fingertips until all their indicators are updated for the back-revised populations.
Headlines
- There were 38 stillbirths in Hull which occurred during 2019-21 which gave a rate of 4.0 per 1,000 stillbirths and live births which was similar to England at 3.9 stillbirths per 1,000 stillbirths and live births.
- There were 39 infant deaths (under one year of age) that were registered in Hull over the three year period 2020-22, and the rate at 4.3 per 1,000 live births was slightly higher than England (4.0 deaths per 1,000 live births).
- The mortality rate among children aged 1-17 years was higher in Hull (11.0 deaths per 100,000 population) compared to England (10.4) but lower than the region (12.1). There were an average of six deaths among children aged 1-17 years per year between 2020 and 2022 in Hull.
- During 2019-21, there were 8,130 deaths among Hull residents with 2,058 among men under 75 years, 2,247 among men aged 75+ years, 1,208 among women under 75 years and 2,617 among women aged 75+ years.
- There were 8,277 deaths among Hull residents (4,344 men and 3,933 women) registered during 2020-22. Overall, 3,359 of these deaths occurred under the age of 75 years and were classified as premature (2,099 men and 1,260 women). Furthermore, 1,754 of these premature deaths were considered to be from causes considered to be preventable (1,179 men and 575 women).
- There were 7,701 deaths registered during the three year period 2017-2019 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of the pandemic on the mortality rates was more noticeable among men compared to women. Furthermore, the causes of death also differed slightly between 2017-19 and 2020-22. In some cases, it would appear that the vulnerable and frail who were the most likely to die, died of COVID-19 rather than existing medical conditions such as cancer, dementia, coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic kidney disease.
- The main causes of death during 2019-21 were cardiovascular disease (24.3%) with just under a half of these deaths (10.9%) from coronary heart disease. Cancer accounted for just under one-quarter of all deaths (23.7%) with lung cancer accounting for around three in ten of these deaths (7.2%). Respiratory disease accounted for one in eight deaths (12.0%) with more than half of these due to bronchitis, emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (6.1%). Dementia accounted for one in twelve deaths (8.3%), and COVID-19 accounted for one in eleven deaths (8.8%). However, among all deaths which occurred between 27 March 2021 (first death from COVID-19) and the end of 2021, the percentage of deaths from COVD-19 was 14.5% or one in seven deaths.
- There was large variability in mortality rates among the different geographical areas across Hull whether this was defined on the basis of wards or deprivation.
- For 2014-21, the under 75 year directly standardised mortality rate ranges from 325 to 793 per 100,000 population across Hull’s 21 electoral wards. The wards with the highest levels of deprivation have the highest mortality rates. People living in the most deprived fifth of areas of Hull have a premature mortality rate of 713 per 100,000 population compared to 289 per 100,000 population for people living in the least deprived fifth of areas of Hull.
The Population Affected – Why Is It Important?
Because everybody dies, it is common to examine and compare rates for premature mortality which is defined as dying before the age of 75 years. It is also possible to examine mortality rates from deaths which are considered preventable such as deaths from suicide and accidents, liver disease from excessive alcohol, lung cancer deaths caused by smoking, etc. Mortality rates have generally been decreasing, but it is important to examine rates from specific causes and for specific groups to determine if rates are falling equally fast for all causes and different groups, and are falling to the same degree as England and comparator areas. However, in practice, it is necessary for the rate in Hull to fall at a faster rate than England to reduce the inequalities gap.
Years of life lost (YLL) measures the number of years of life lost for each person who dies prematurely (before the age of 75 years). It can be used to examine different causes contributing to the total YLL for all persons dying or the average YLL for each person who dies, by cause of death.
The Hull Picture
Stillbirths, Infant Mortality and Deaths Among Children
The rate of stillbirths in Hull was 4.0 per 1,000 live births and stillbirths which occurred during 2019-21, and the rate was only marginally higher than England (3.9 stillbirths per 1,000 live births and stillbirths).
For deaths registered during 2020-22, the infant mortality rate (deaths under one year of age) in Hull was 4.3 per 1,000 live births which was higher than England (4.0 deaths per 1,000 live births) although there was no statistically significant difference between Hull and England.

The rate of stillbirths was significantly higher than England in the three year periods from 2013-15 to 2015-17, and whilst the rate has decreased in Hull since then, and whilst it is slightly higher than England for 2019-21 it is not statistically significantly higher. There were 38 stillbirths in Hull during 2019-21 giving an average of 13 per year.

Deaths by Age
Percentage of Deaths at Different Ages
The Office for Health Inequalities & Disparities’ Fingertips provides information on the percentage of deaths by age for Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). In 2020, Hull had a much higher percentage of all deaths that occurred under the age of 65 years compared to other CCGs within Humber, Coast and Vale. Part of this may be due to Hull’s younger age structure compared to other local CCGs, but is also due to the increased mortality rate among younger people in Hull due to increased levels of risk factors for ill health and disease.

The percentage of deaths which occurred at ages 85+ years has been around one-third (33%) between 2012 and 2020 although there has been some year-on-year variability. The percentage has been consistently lower than England and the Yorkshire and Humber. The percentage increased from 30.9% in 2019 to 32.4% in 2020, and whilst this might be attributable to COVID-19 as mortality rates from COVID-19 were much higher with increasing age, the latest percentage of 32.4% is not dissimilar to previous years (2012 to 2015). The percentage in 2020 at 32.4% is lower than all years except 2011, 2014 and 2019.

The percentage of deaths which occurred between the ages of 75 and 84 years has reduced between 2012 and 2020, but the decrease was more marked earlier in the decade. There was relatively little difference in the percentages between 2019 and 2020 which could be considered surprising given the higher mortality rates among the elderly due to COVID-19.

There has also been relatively little change in the percentage of deaths which occurred under the age of 65 years in Hull with the percentage being around 20% with the exception of 2018 when it fell to 17.1%. There does not appear to have been any change to the percentages between 2019 and 2020.

Mortality Rates By Age
The Office for Health Improvement & Disparities’ Fingertips presents mortality rates by age, and it illustrates that the directly standardised mortality rates per 100,000 persons (standardised to the European Standard Population) are much higher in Hull compared to other CCGs within Humber, Coast and Vale, particularly so for the younger age groups.

For all ages, the mortality rate in Hull gradually increased in Hull between 2011 and 2019 although the mortality rates were relatively high in 2017. The mortality rate was also much higher in 2020 with many more deaths due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mortality rates among those aged 85+ years has been increasing but there is year-on-year variability and there was a fall in the mortality rate between 2018 and 2019. The mortality rates for people younger ages have been relatively constant over time although there is year-on-year variability. All age groups showed an increase in the mortality rate for 2020, but it was more marked among those aged 85+ years.

Location of Deaths
The aim of palliative care and end of life services is to enable patients with advancing progressive life limiting illness to be cared for and to die in their preferred place of care with optimal pain and symptom management, supported by skilled staff. It is generally recognised that too many people die in hospital and that this might not be their preferred place of death, and a proportion of these people might prefer to die at home provided that the right care is in place.
Further information can be found under Palliative and End of Life Care under Health Factors under Adults, which includes the percentage of Hull residents who die in hospital, in care homes, at home, in hospices and elsewhere.
Trends in the Total Number of Deaths
In the late 1990s, there were around 2,900 deaths each year, but this fell to a low of just over 2,300 deaths for the three year period 2010 to 2012. Since 2012, the number of deaths has increased but has remained around 2,500 deaths each year, although this increased markedly in 2020 and 2021 due the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, the number of deaths at 2,910 was the second highest it had been since 1999. The number of deaths in 2021 reduced from 2020, but was still higher than 2018 and 2019.
Deaths by Cause of Death
Total Number of Deaths by All Main Causes of Death
During the three year period 2019-21 there were 8,130 deaths among Hull residents of which 2,058 where among men aged under 75 years, 2,247 among men aged 75+ years, 1,208 among women aged under 75 years, and 2,617 among women aged 75+ years.
The number of main underlying deaths by cause for 2019-21 are given below for deaths which occurred over the three year period 2019-21. Some numbers have been replaced by asterisks because the number of deaths is too small to present. In these cases the number has been presented elsewhere (in the ‘other’ category). The totals are not provided the these causes of death because it would then be possible to calculate the small numbers by subtraction from the totals. Furthermore, alcohol specific deaths (deaths wholly attributable to alcohol) and drug poisoning deaths can also be classified as deaths from suicide and underdetermined injury if they involve alcohol or drugs respectively. The total number of deaths for each of these three causes of death are given and this means due to these overlapping categories, the total deaths from all the causes in the table sum to more than the total number of deaths at the bottom of the table.
Overall, 1,924 deaths were caused by cardiovascular disease (23.7%) and the largest category within cardiovascular disease was coronary heart disease (further information is available under Cardiovascular Disease under Health Factors within Adults).
There were 1,972 deaths due to cancer (24.3%) with the lung cancer being the cancer site with the largest number of deaths (further information is available under Cancer under Health Factors within Adults).
There were 980 deaths from respiratory disease (12.1%) with the largest cause bronchitis, emphysema and other chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (further information is available under Respiratory Disease under Health Factors within Adults).
There were 678 deaths caused by dementia representing 8.3% of all deaths during 2019-21 (further information is available under Dementia under Health Factors within Adults).
There were 82 deaths from suicide or undetermined injury among those aged under 75 years with a very small number of deaths from this cause among those aged 75+ years (further information is available under Suicide and Self-Harm under Health Factors within Adults).
There were 43 infant deaths under the age of one year (further information is available under Stillbirths and Infant Mortality under Pregnancy, Infants and Early Years within Children and Young People).
During the three year period 2019-21, there were 713 deaths due to COVID-19. Further information relating to the COVID-19 pandemic can be found under Coronavirus (COVID-19) under Health Factors under Adults, although further more detailed information relating to mortality from COVID-19 is presented below.

Trends in Average Number of Deaths Per Year
Whilst there is year-on-year variability in the number of deaths by underlying cause, although it is possible that there have been changes in the way the deaths are coded or more emphasis or awareness of different conditions which could influence the underlying cause over time.
In the following table the average deaths for each two year period is given (so the numbers do not add up to the figures above in the ‘total deaths in last three years’ table above).
The number of infant deaths under the age of one year, and deaths from colorectal cancer, pancreas cancer, lung cancer, diseases of the digestive system (non-alcohol related) and from suicide and undetermined injury has remained relatively static between 2010 and 2021, although there has been year-on-year variability.
The average annual number of deaths from the following causes has generally increased over time for oesophagus cancer, breast cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and drug poisoning, and the numbers have generally been decreasing for coronary heart disease.
The number of deaths by underlying cause differed slightly for some causes of death for 2020 and 2021 due the COVID-19 pandemic. There had been relatively static numbers of people dying from stroke and influenza and pneumonia between 2010 and 2019, but numbers decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic. The numbers had also been relatively static for hypertensive disease and alcohol-specific conditions (wholly attributable to alcohol) over time, but the numbers from these two causes of death increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The number of deaths from prostate cancer, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and bronchitis, emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has generally been increasing in Hull over time, but during the COVID-19 pandemic the numbers dying from these four causes decreased in Hull.
This is perhaps not too surprising as each year people who are more vulnerable and frail are more likely to die, and these are more likely to have died from COVID-19 during the pandemic, and therefore did not die of other conditions which older, more vulnerable, frail people are more likely to die from such as stroke, influenza and pneumonia, and dementia. In a care home, it is possible that social mixing was reduced among residents without dementia, but it was more difficult among residents with dementia. There was less influenza circulating over the winter of 2020 due to the lockdowns and less social mixing during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the most vulnerable were more likely to die from COVID-19 rather than pneumonia. All these factors (and others) are likely to affect the trends in the specific causes of death over time, and during the pandemic.

Deaths Due to COVID-19 Occurring in 2020 and 2021
In 2020, there were a total of 2,910 deaths and 406 (14.0%) of these had COVID-19 as the underlying cause of death. There was also an additional 49 deaths where COVID-19 was mentioned on the death certificate but it was not the underlying cause of the death.
Among men aged 75+ years who died during 2020, almost one in five deaths were due to COVID-19 with around one in seven deaths due to COVID-19 among women aged 75+ years. Among those aged under 75 years, men were also more likely to have died from COVID-19 during 2020 compared to women.

There were slightly fewer deaths from COVID-19 in 2021 overall, but a higher percentage of deaths among those aged under 75 years were due to COVID-19 than for 2020. During 2020, there were a relatively high percentage of deaths in care homes which might account for the differences in the age distributions between 2020 and 2021. There were also more deaths with COVID-19 mentioned on the death certificate but where it was not the underlying cause in 2021 compared to 2020, but this could be due to better testing and detection of COVID-19 and changes to the information was recorded on the death certificate over time.

Among the people who died from COVID-19 as the underlying cause of death during 2020 or 2021, there were some specific medical conditions which were recorded as secondary causes as the person had that medical condition or disease and some of these could have increased the risk of catching COVID-19 or reduced survival from COVID-19. Other secondary causes may have been secondary consequences of the COVID-19 virus, such as pneumonia and acute lower respiratory infection.
The following table gives the number of deaths from COVID and deaths from all other causes where specific medical conditions were mentioned on the death certificate as secondary or contributory causes of death, as well as the number of deaths where that medical condition or disease was the underlying cause of the death in 2020-21. The numbers for 2018-19 are also given for comparison purposes.
The table illustrates the number and pattern of deaths for those medical conditions most likely to appear as secondary causes of death where COVID-19 is given as the underlying cause of death so the table does not necessarily include all the main causes of death.
Note that a death could be in more than one row, for instance, if the underlying cause was COVID-19 but diabetes and obesity were both listed as secondary causes of death, then the death would be included within the 140 COVID-19 deaths were diabetes was a secondary cause and included within the 16 COVID-19 deaths where obesity was a secondary cause.
For instance, there were 429 deaths over the two year period 2020-21 where dementia was the underlying cause of death. Out of the 713 deaths from COVID-19 during 2020-21, 149 had dementia was mentioned as a secondary cause of death and an additional 228 deaths where the cause was not COVID-19 had dementia listed as the secondary cause of death.

Compared to 2018-19, during 2020-21, there were more people in Hull who died as the underlying cause of death or as a secondary cause of death from cancer, diabetes, obesity, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension, coronary heart disease, pulmonary embolism, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, pneumonia, unspecified acute lower respiratory infection, asthma, and chronic kidney disease.
However, the percentage of deaths from these causes out of the total number of deaths was only higher for 2020-21 compared to 2018-19 for diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension, pulmonary embolism, atrial fibrillation, pneumonia and asthma.

Using the percentage of deaths with secondary cause of death for specific conditions in 2018-19 as a comparison, there were more deaths from COVID-19 with a secondary cause of death for cancer, diabetes, obesity, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension, coronary heart disease, pulmonary embolism, atrial fibrillation, stroke, pneumonia, unspecified acute lower respiratory infection, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and chronic kidney disease.
A high percentage of COVID-19 deaths had dementia (21%), diabetes (20%), hypertension (19%), coronary heart disease (16%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (16%), chronic kidney disease (14%) or atrial fibrillation (13%) as a secondary cause of death, and almost six in ten of COVID-19 deaths had pneumonia listed as a secondary cause of death.
The percentage of people dying from some of these conditions as an underlying cause of death was lower in 2020-21 compared to 2018-19, which suggests that the people with these conditions were dying from COVID-19 rather than an existing medical condition, suggesting that the underlying cause of death was substituted with COVID-19 among some of the most vulnerable and frail people who were most at risk of death.

Deaths With an Underlying Cause of Cancer, Respiratory Disease or Circulatory Disease
The Office for Health Improvement & Disparities’ Fingertips also presents the percentage of deaths with an underlying cause of cancer, respiratory disease or cardiovascular disease. In 2020, almost one-quarter of deaths had an underlying cause of cancer in Hull which was the same as England. Compared to England, slightly higher percentages of deaths in Hull had circulatory / cardiovascular disease as a secondary cause of death (21.8% versus 23.4%) and respiratory disease as a secondary cause of death (10.2% versus 11.4%).

There has been considerable year-on-year variability in the mortality rate from specified communicable diseases and influenza in Hull between 2001-03 and 2012-14, although since then the rate has been relatively constant in Hull at around 10-11 deaths per 100,000 population (just over 20 deaths registered each year). There were 73 deaths from specified communicable diseases and influenza among Hull residents that were registered during the three year period 2020-22.

There has been around 1,400 deaths among those aged under 75 years from causes that were considered to be preventable over the three year periods prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, COVID-19 has been added as a preventable cause, and this increased the number of preventable causes considerably for both Hull and England.
There were 1,423 deaths among those aged under 75 years from causes that were considered to be preventable that were registered during the three year period 2017-19, but this increased to 1,754 deaths for 2020-22. There were a total of 3,359 deaths among people aged under 75 years for 2020-22, so it is estimated that just over half (52%) of them are preventable. With 8,277 deaths in total (all ages), this equates to 21.2% of them being considered to be preventable among those under 75 years.
Between 2001-03 and 2017-19, the decrease in the premature mortality rate from causes considered to be preventable was 13.8% compared to 26.6% for England and 22.6% for the region.
Since 2017-19, the mortality rate has increased. COVID-19 has been classified as a preventable cause among under 75s so it is likely that this will account for the majority of increase, but it is possible that health and impacts of other diseases and medical conditions were adversely affected particularly in terms of access to healthcare so the premature mortality from other conditions from preventable causes may also have increased. The mortality rate increased by 18.7% in Hull between 2017-19 and 2020-22 which was greater than the increase for England (20.5%) although similar to the increase for the region (18.4%). The mortality rate in Hull is now 2.3% higher than it was in 2001-03 whereas the mortality rate is 11.5% lower for England and 8.4% lower for the region.

Of the 2,099 premature deaths among Hull men registered during 2020-22, 1,179 (56%) of them were from causes considered to be preventable. With 4,344 deaths in total (all ages), this equates to 27.2% of them being considered to be preventable among those under 75 years.
Among men, the premature mortality rate from causes considered to be preventable gradually decreased from 364 to 289 deaths per 100,000 population between 2001-03 and 2010-12, but remained relatively static around 290 deaths per 100,000 population. The rate increased to 360 deaths per 100,000 population for 2020-22, so is only marginally lower than the mortality rate in 2001-03 (1.0% lower) whereas the mortality rate has decreased by 15.6% for England and 13.1% for the region between 2001-03 and 2020-22.
The increase between 2017-19 and 2020-22 was 24.4% for Hull compared to 20.2% for England and 18.1% for the region.

Of the 1,260 premature deaths among Hull women registered during 2020-22, 575 (46%) of them were from causes considered to be preventable. With 3,933 deaths in total (all ages), this equates to 14.6% of them being considered to be preventable among those under 75 years.
The premature mortality rate from causes considered to be preventable is much lower among women compared to men. Over time, the mortality rate has consistently reduced for women in England and across the region prior to the COVID-19 pandemic whereas for women in Hull, the mortality rate has been relatively constant throughout the entire period 2001-03 to 2020-22.
The mortality rate was only 2.3% lower in 2017-19 than it was in 2001-03 among Hull women, compared to 20.9% lower for England and 17.0% lower across the region.
Between 2017-19 and 2020-22, the premature mortality rate from causes considered to be preventable increased in Hull by 9.2% compared to 21.1% for England and 19.0% for the region. Despite this recent narrowing of the inequalities gap between Hull and England, the mortality rate in Hull is 50% higher than England for 2020-22. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of premature mortality was greater among Hull men compared to Hull women.
Over the entire period 2001-03 to 2020-22, the mortality rate has increased in Hull by 6.8% compared to a decrease of 4.2% for England and decrease of 1.2% for the region.

Premature Deaths and Preventable Deaths By Main Causes of Death
The Office for Health Improvement & Disparities’ Fingertips also presents the directly standardised mortality rates per 100,000 persons (standardised to the European Standard Population) for all under 75 deaths and under 75 deaths considered to be preventable for the following causes: cancer, cardiovascular disease, liver disease and respiratory disease. They also present the mortality rate from a range of specified communicable diseases, including influenza and mortality rate from suicide and undetermined intent with both of these measures relating to all ages and not just for under 75s.
Trends over time can be found within Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, Respiratory Disease and Suicide and Self-Harm within Health Factors under Adults.
Cancer
The premature mortality rates from cancer in Hull are significantly higher than England and are the highest in the region for 2020-22 (except for premature mortality from causes considered preventable among women where three other local authorities have marginally higher rates).

For women, there appears to be slightly more variability over time in the mortality rate, and whilst the rate has decreased between 2019-21 and 2020-22 in contrast to men, the rate has been relatively high during the last two years. The mortality rate for the last two years has been 18 deaths per 100,000 population or more, and it has not been this high since 2010-12 for women in Hull.

Respiratory Disease
The premature mortality rates from respiratory disease in Hull are significantly higher than England. The rates are also among the highest in the region, particularly for women and particularly for premature mortality from respiratory disease from causes considered to be preventable.
For deaths registered during 2020-22, the premature mortality rates from respiratory disease in Hull was 75% higher than England (68% higher for men and 83% higher for women) and the premature mortality rate from respiratory disease from causes considered to be preventable was 98% higher in Hull compared to England (89% higher for men and 106% higher than women – that is more than double the rate in Hull compared to England for women).

Premature Deaths Across Hull’s Wards
The mortality rates and causes of death differ substantially across the 21 wards in Hull.
For deaths registered during 2014-21, the directly standardised mortality rates per 100,000 persons (standardised to the European Standard Population) for all under 75 deaths varies between 325 and 793 deaths per 100,000 population across Hull’s 21 electoral wards. Thus under 75 year age standardised mortality rates are 2.4 times higher in St Andrew’s & Docklands than they are in Holderness.
There is a strong association with deprivation. Kingswood, Holderness and Bricknell are the three least deprived wards in Hull and they have among the lowest mortality rates. St Andrew’s & Docklands, Orchard Park, Central and Marfleet are the four most deprived wards and they have the highest premature mortality rates.
The pattern is very similar for men with the mortality rates with age standardised premature mortality rates ranging from 389 to 942 deaths per 100,000 population across Hull’s wards for deaths registered during 2014-21.
A very similar pattern in the premature mortality rates occurs for women across Hull’s wards with mortality rates ranging from 219 to 607 deaths per 100,000 population for deaths registered during 2014-21, although there is a slightly higher rate of difference across the wards with St Andrew’s & Docklands having a mortality rate that is 2.8 times higher than Kingswood.
More information is also available in within our Ward Profiles under Place.
Preventable Deaths Across Hull’s Wards
For deaths registered during 2014-21, the directly standardised mortality rates per 100,000 persons (standardised to the European Standard Population) for all under 75 deaths from causes considered preventable also varies significantly across Hull’s 21 electoral wards.
There is almost a three-fold difference in the standardised mortality rates across the wards with a mortality rate of 138 per 100,000 population for Boothferry compared to 400 for St Andrew’s & Docklands.
There is a similar pattern for men with the premature mortality rate from causes considered preventable ranging from 169 per 100,000 population in Boothferry to 494 per 100,000 population in St Andrew’s & Docklands.
For women, the mortality rates range from 104 to 283 per 100,000 population with Bricknell having the lowest rate and St Andrew’s & Docklands having the highest rate. There were fewer than 10 premature deaths from causes considered preventable in Kingswood, and it is not possible to produce a statistically robust estimate of the mortality rate with fewer than ten deaths across all age groups.
Premature Deaths By Local Deprivation Fifth
As noted above across the wards, there is a strong association between premature mortality and deprivation.
For deaths registered during 2014-21, the directly standardised mortality rates per 100,000 persons (standardised to the European Standard Population) for all under 75 deaths ranges from 289 deaths per 100,000 population for people living in the least deprived fifth of areas of Hull to 713 deaths per 100,000 population for people living in the most deprived fifth of areas of Hull. The mortality rate in the most deprived fifth of areas of Hull is around 2.5 times the age standardised premature mortality rate of those living in the least deprived fifth of areas of Hull.
Mortality rates are higher among men, but a very similar pattern occurs. The premature mortality rate is 359 per 100,000 population among men living in the least deprived fifth of areas of Hull compared to 876 per 100,000 population among men living in the most deprived fifth of areas of Hull.
Among women, the mortality rate in the most deprived fifth of areas of Hull is also around 2.5 times the age standardised premature mortality rate of those living in the least deprived fifth of areas of Hull with the mortality rate ranging from 222 to 546 per 100,000 population across the deprivation fifths for premature deaths registered during 2014-21.
More information is also available in within our Ward Profiles under Place.
Preventable Deaths By Local Deprivation Fifth
For deaths registered during 2014-21, the directly standardised mortality rates per 100,000 persons (standardised to the European Standard Population) for all under 75 deaths from causes considered preventable also varies significantly across Hull based on the Index of Multiple Deprivation local fifths.
For men and women combined, the premature mortality rate from causes considered preventable was three times higher in the most deprived fifth of areas of Hull (350 deaths per 100,000 population) compared to the least deprived fifth of areas of Hull (118 deaths per 100,000 population).
A similar pattern was observed for men with the premature mortality rate from causes considered to be preventable ranging from 169 deaths per 100,000 population for people living in the least deprived fifth of areas of Hull to 494 deaths per 100,000 population for people living in the most deprived fifth of areas of Hull.
For women, the premature mortality rate from causes considered to be preventable ranging from 79 deaths per 100,000 population for people living in the least deprived fifth of areas of Hull to 245 deaths per 100,000 population for people living in the most deprived fifth of areas of Hull.
Strategic Need and Service Provision
Whilst reducing the number of deaths and increasing life expectancy is important, this needs to be achieved in conjunction with improvements in the quality of life. This is particularly so with the ageing population and the increased demand on scarce resources.
Health inequalities is a huge issue in Hull with large differences in the number of premature and preventable deaths across different geographical areas in Hull. Inequalities are also present in many other areas such as those associated with education, economic activity, lifestyle and behaviour risk factors, housing, social, etc. There is considerable work already occurring in Hull to address these inequalities, but there is still a long way to go with mortality and life expectancy inequalities tending to increase rather than reduce. COVID-19 has impacted greatly on mortality and increased inequalities in Hull.
