FOREWORD
Most CAREC member countries (CMCs) have experienced a health transition, with fertility and mortality rates decreasing and disease
patterns changing, such that the greatest morbidity and mortality burdens are due to chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), AIDS
and injuries, paralleled and sometimes driven by social and behavioural changes that affect health. In the Caribbean, CMCs have also
been experiencing another phase of the health transition described as a re-emergence of ‘old’ communicable diseases (e.g. tuberculosis)
and the emergence of new communicable diseases (e.g. AIDS), together with the increasing prominence of NCDs (e.g. heart disease,
cancers and diabetes).
A descriptive study of mortality data from all CMCs was conducted for four point years; 1985, 1990, 1995 and 2000. This publication
provides the summary, as well as age and sex specific tables for the leading causes of death for these four years. Analyses showed that
during 1985-2000, there was an overall 5% decrease in age-adjusted mortality rates in the CMCs and male mortality exceeded female
mortality. Overall, as well as among males and females, heart disease was the leading cause of death, with cancers, cerebrovascular
diseases, diabetes mellitus and hypertensive disease also in the top five causes in most years. Among cancers, prostate cancer was the
leading cause of death among men and among women cancer of the uterus and breast. HIV disease (AIDS) featured in the ten leading
causes of death for the first time in 1990 and was the 5th leading cause in 2000. In 2000, AIDS was the largest contributor to premature
death (contributing 14% of the total person years of life lost that year); followed by heart disease (7% PYLL), assault/homicide (6% PYLL),
diabetes (4% PYLL), cerebrovascular diseases (3% PYLL) and hypertensive disease (2% PYLL).
During the period 1985-2000, CMCs observed an increase in mortality due to NCDs diseases, AIDS and assaults (homicides), the latter
two causes occurring particularly in the 15-44 year age group. Member states of the Caribbean Community participate in the Caribbean
Cooperation in Health, an initiative aimed at improving and sustaining the health of the people of the Caribbean. Phase II of this initiative
includes NCDs and AIDS as priority areas, but not intentional injures and violence. The latter two areas must also be considered as priority
areas in phase III of this initiative. Non-communicable diseases, AIDS, injuries and violence are often considered to be a manifestation of
lifestyle choices, though it must be recognized that choices are greatly affected by social, cultural and economic factors. The determinants
of these conditions are influenced by many sectors other than health. Thus, a multi-sectoral, long-term approach is necessary to reverse
the increasing mortality due to these conditions.
This publication will be useful for public health and medical practitioners, policy makers and researchers, both regionally and
internationally. I thank the many persons in our 21 CMCs who have contributed to collecting data for this publication – medical and
public health practitioners, mortality data coders, statisticians, epidemiologists, researchers, etc. I also thank the CAREC staff and
collaborating partners who have produced this publication.

MORTALITY TABULATION ICD9/ICD10 MERGER LISTING
This table reflects the merging of the PAHO ICD 9 and ICD 10 Mortality Tabulation Listing for the purpose of a four point analysis of mortality data in CAREC member countries. This compilation was specifically done to support the Caribbean Commission on Health and Development
(CCHD). The list is by no way comprehensive as it was not possible to align all ICD9 tabulation codes with a corresponding ICD10 tabulation code and vice versa. The first three columns give the ICD 9 and ICD 10 tabulation codes and the CAREC assigned tabulation codes (CTC) used
for the analysis. The column ‘Description’ outlines the descriptions used as taken from the PAHO ICD 9/ICD10 Mortality Tabulation Listing.
