In the analysis, the main cause remains unchanged: diseases of the circulatory system, that is, cardiovascular diseases, still rank first. In 2025, more than 104 thousand people died precisely due to these diseases. Next among the causes of death were neoplasms, respiratory diseases, and other illnesses.
By regions, the highest figures were recorded in Samarkand region (19,670), Fergana region (18,695), and Tashkent region (16,984). In Tashkent city, 16,926 citizens died during the year. The lowest figures were recorded in Syrdarya region (4,624) and Navoi region (4,781).
At the same time, average life expectancy in the country continues to increase: if in 1991 this indicator was 66.4 years, by 2024 it had reached 75.1 years. It is reported that by 2030 the goal is to raise average life expectancy to 78 years.
