      Data source(s) used: Vital statistics on causes of death:The Vital statistics system on causes of death is the main source for the evaluation of the health status of the population, and for the health programs and resources allocation.Data on causes of all deaths occurring in Italy during a calendar year are collected by the death certificates Istat/D.4 and D.4 bis.The physician must fill the health section of the certificate (part A) and the civil status officer of the appurtenant municipality must fill the demographic section of the certificate (part B). Other data characteristics: Deaths of people 15 years old and more, with suicides and intentional self-harm codes in the death certificates as underlying cause of death and/or multiple causes of death.The list of causes considered in comorbidity was obtained through a selection of non-traumatic causes of death reported on the death certificate, excluding less informative conditions, and those conditions that represent mechanisms of deaths and consequences of the injury rather than underlying diseases.The totals of the variables "mental diseases" and "physical diseases" may not coincide with the sum of the individual items because each dead may have had several pathologies.For more details consult the "related files" ("Export" section).
