Rising Female Mortality in Tunisia
A recent Tunisian study revealed that women in Tunisia in 2022 were more likely to die compared to men, primarily due to diseases related to the cardiovascular system such as heart diseases and hypertension, as well as rheumatism and neurological disorders. The study confirmed that the mortality rate among women is high, especially due to rheumatism and joint diseases (rate of 2), neurological diseases (1.27), endocrine and metabolic diseases (1.22), and heart diseases (1.21). Conversely, the most common causes of death among men are linked to malignant tumors, external causes, and chronic respiratory diseases. There is a variation in the mortality rates between genders, and it is acknowledged that this gap is due to biological differences. The study emphasizes the need to adopt gender-sensitive approaches in health planning to reduce these disparities.
