1971-1990年間臺灣地區火災事故累積死亡率及潛在生命年數損失之變化

Cumulative Mortality Rate and Years of Potential Life Loss Due to Fire in Taiwan during 1971-1990

摘要


以死亡率來估計一個社會的健康狀況,乃將不同年齡之死亡者,視為對社會有相同之衝擊,而潛在生命損失則考慮在不同年齡死亡時,社會所損失之人年數,可較準確的估計某死因所帶給社會之衝擊。本文之目的在探討20年來,臺灣地區因火災意外事故死亡之累積死亡率、潛在生命年數損失和其生產力損失之趨勢。本文乃利用行政院衛生署之生命統計資料,計算1971-90年間,臺灣地區因火災意外事故死亡之潛在生命年數損失、潛在價值年數損失及潛在工作年數損失。除此之外,尚利用標準化潛在工作年數損失及按1986年消費者物價指數調整過之受僱員工每人每月平均薪資所得兩者相乘,求出歷年之薪資損失。結果中顯示在過去20年來,臺灣地區因火災意外事故死亡之人數增為3倍,0-74歲之累積死亡率增為2倍左右。1990年因火災意外事故致死者,其潛在生命年數損失為17,825人年,潛在價值年數損失為5,377人年,潛在工作年數損失為11,481人年,薪資所得損失為2.5億元。由火災意外事故致死的各項標準化潛在生命年數損失及薪資損失來看,有逐漸增加之趨勢。以上尚未將因火災意外事故之財物損失及未致死者之醫療、所得損失,和因火災意外所造成之社會、家庭變化之損失估算在內,否則因火災意外所引起之損失會更加龐大。吾人實應多用心於火災之防治,以減少社會、家庭及個人之損失。

Mortality rates have been a major index of health status in a community for decades. They describe the number and rates of death due to different causes in a population, but were unable to represent the total social impact resulting from this cause. YPLL (years of potential life lost), in contrast, is presented as an index that focuses more on the social and economic consequences of mortality. The purpose of this study is to determine the 20-year time trends and economic loss of cumulative mortality rates and YPLL's due to fire. We calculated the YPLL, WYPLL (working years of potential life lost), VYPLL (valued years of potential life 1os of fire mortality during the 1971-90 period in Taiwan. Besides, we also computed the human capital loss by multiplying the WYPLL with the salary (adjusted for consumer price index) of the particular calendar year. The results showed that the number of death and cumulative mortality rates (0-74) due to fire increased to 3, and 2times, respectively, during the last 20 years. YPLL's of the death caused by fire also increased to about more than 2 times. In 1990 alone, YPLL, WYPLL, and VYPLL due to fire accidents are 17, 825, 11, 481, 5, 377 person years respectively. The human capital loss is estimated to be NT$ 0.25 billion by income alone, if counting the loss of the psychological influence and finance of the family and society, the impact of fire will become even greater and deserve future studies. We conclude that our health policy should also focus on the prevention of fire accidental events to minimize the damage of individuals and society.
