The life expectancy at birth and ’80.2 years for males and 85 for females: in Tuscany you live an average of about 10 months in more’ for men and 6 months in more ‘for women compared to the rest of the country . In particular, males Tuscans have earned 153 days of life expectancy due to the reduction in mortality ‘tumors (gain national average of 116); for women, and it had the highest gain for the reduction of mortality ‘for diseases of the circulatory system (181 days versus 117 days of average earnings Italian), which is followed by a gain of 107 days for the reduction of mortality’ tumors (level National: 31 days). Consequently, Tuscany and ‘among the Italian regions most’ affected by the aging of the population, with as many as 187.3 seniors (over 65) for every 100 young people (0-14 years), compared with a national value 148% . It also features the most ‘high percentage of males with disabilities ultra65enni’ living alone (41,59% vs 19,93% of the Italian data), hence a high social and economic burden on the working population.

Tuscany is reconfirmed in first place for the consumption of antidepressants, with 55.1 daily doses per 1000 inhabitants (vs. the national average of 36.8), although there was a slight decrease compared to last year’s figure (55.8 DDD / ab.die 1000), so ‘as is decreased, albeit slightly, the suicide rate (7.56 vs. 7.81 per 100,000 last year).

Good report, as usual in recent years, for the performance of hospital care, as evidenced by its efficiency and appropriateness of indicators: the standardized rate of hospital discharges (143.5 per 1,000 vs. value Tuscan Italian figure of 163.5); more ‘down about 5 points compared to 2011; The average preoperative hospitalization, which in Tuscany ‘of about 0.4 days less than the national average; the percentage of patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture within 48 hours, increased from last year by as much 13.3 points, far exceeding the given Italian (Tuscan value of 69.3% vs. the national average of 44.7%); for cesarean births, lower by as much as 10.38% compared to the average Italian.

Although the 2012 data of the National Program Outcomes, attach to Tuscany the most ‘high percentage of hospital performance better than average.
