ABSTRACT: Objective: To analyze the relationship
between education degree and death site of
individuals with bone-related diseases in Inner Mongolia. Methods: Using data from death monitoring points in Inner
Mongolia from 2008 to 2015, bone-related disease deaths were identified
based on the International Classification of Diseases Criteria. Crude mortality, as well as gender-, age-, region-specific
mortality and age-specific growth mortality resulting from bone diseases, were calculated. The proportion and chi-square test were carried out. Results: The average bone-related disease mortality rate in Inner Mongolia during the
study period was 1.59 per 100,000 individuals, which could be broken down into 1.95 per 100,000 males and 1.20 per
100,000 females. Among bone- related disease deaths, 68.61% of afflicted individuals died at home
while the remainder mainly died on the way to hospitals and other health
institutions. In the classification of bone disease death site, 66.89% of primary bone cancer died at
home. When evaluated by education degree, more people with low education degree died at home (78.03%) compared to in
medical institutions (21.97%). High education degree accounted for 50%
of both died at home and in medical-related institutions. Conclusion: For people in Inner Mongolia who die of bone-related diseases, the primary
cause of which is bone cancer. Among these individuals, most chose to die at home instead of in medical
institutions. Besides education degree,
factors such as age, gender, and the region also affected the
distribution of death sites.
