Data from the past year indicates that circulatory system diseases accounted for 57.4% of mortality among women, while malignant tumors were responsible for 18.7% of deaths. Despite a general downward trend observed in the overall mortality rate related to the circulatory system in recent years, specialists have noted that the proportion of deaths attributed to these conditions remains higher for women compared to men. The Hygiene Institute provided specific comparative data, reporting that in 2025, the incidence rate for circulatory diseases among women was nearly 390 cases per 1,000 women.
This rate was notably higher than the figure reported for men, which stood at approximately 307 cases per 1,000 men. These statistics highlight that while the overall mortality trend for cardiovascular issues is improving, circulatory system diseases remain a primary cause of death for women. The data suggests a persistent disparity in the burden of cardiovascular illness between genders, even as medical advancements contribute to a reduction in overall mortality rates.
Health experts continue to monitor these figures to better understand the risk factors contributing to these observed differences in the mortality profile of women versus men.
