The attitude of society and civil institutions to death is considered; it is noted that over the centuries the attitude of the population to death has changed - from accepting it as a «thing» inevitable, to understanding the loss of a loved one, a resource of society’s labor. With the development of society, progress in medicine and pharmaceutics, the causes of death were transformed - causes of natural-historical nature gave way to «causes of civilization», which was reflected in age and gender mortality rate. Until the mid-XX century, deaths caused greater damage to female population and children, but the modern period is characterized by increased mortality of the male population, primarily in the working age. Progress in medicine and healthcare, improving the attitude of the population to their health and the development of sports have made it possible to shift mortality rate to older ages.
