Background. Mortality data provides the most important indicators for the evaluation and comparison of health status at the local, national, and international level. Aim is to analyze mortality indicators for the period 2010 – 2019 by monitoring trends for these ten years to determine the changes. Methods. The basis for mortality indicators are data from the Institute for Statistics of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Mortality is also shown through general mortality rates, Standardized Death Rate (SDR) and leading causes of death for 2019. Mortality and population data were organized into five year age groups (0-85+ years), to correspond with age categories used in the 1976 European Standard Population (ESP) and those provided in mortality and population data. We calculated age-standardized rates per 100,000 for each study year (2010 – 2019) using the direct method, based on the 1976 ESP and age-specific crude rates. Microsoft Excel 2010 was used to calculate age-standardized rates. Results. In Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2019, the general mortality rate per 100,000 populations was 1,005.6 and it is recorded an increase compared to 2018, when it had a value of 976.3, while in 2010 the value was 908.9. The standardized death rate (SDR) for all causes and age groups per 100,000 inhabitants in 2019 for Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FB&H) was 720.9 and it is slightly higher compared to the EU average. The standardized mortality rate for males is 859.4 in 2019, while for females it is 603 for 2019.Conclusions. It can be concluded that the number of leading diseases that were the cause of death is increasing accordingly. The Federal Ministry of Health, in cooperation with the World Health Organization, developed an Action plan for the prevention and control of chronic non-communicable diseases for the period 2019-2025. The goal of an Action plan is to reduce the number of deaths from non-communicable diseases in the Federation of Bosna and Hercegovina through clear guidelines and recommendations.
