The "Report" shows that the life expectancy of registered residents in Tianjin will reach 82.80 years in 2025, including 80.51 years for men and 85.30 years for women, which continues to rank among the advanced levels in the country. At the same time, the local maternal, newborn, infant, and child mortality rates under 5 years of age have all remained low. The bottom line of life safety for mothers, infants, and children has been firmly maintained, and the effectiveness of maternal and child health protection has been solid.

At the same time, the "Report" also pointed out that chronic non-communicable diseases are the core factor affecting the life span of Tianjin residents. The total mortality rate of Tianjin's registered population in 2025 is 718.64/100,000. Heart disease, malignant tumors, cerebrovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, injuries and poisoning, and diabetes are the top six causes of death, accounting for 86.96% of the total deaths.

Among them, the number of deaths due to heart disease is the largest, accounting for 27.51% of the total deaths; malignant tumors are the second leading cause of death, accounting for 24.30% of the total deaths; cerebrovascular disease is the third leading cause, accounting for 20.33% of the total deaths. The main causes of death among people in different age groups are different. The main cause of death among people aged 45-64 is malignant tumors, and the main cause of death among people aged 65 and above is heart disease.

The incidence of chronic diseases shows distinct characteristics of age and youth. The reported incidence rate of malignant tumors in Tianjin in 2025 is 333.46/100,000, with lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer ranking among the top three. The risk of incidence increases sharply after the age of 45, and those over 65 years old account for 53.75% of all cancer cases. The incidence rate of stroke has exceeded 1,000/100,000, and the incidence rate in men is significantly higher than that in women.

It is worth noting that the incidence of diabetes in the local area is trending younger, with the total incidence rate being 565.37/100,000. Type 2 diabetes is a mainstream disease, accounting for 85.21% of the total incidence of diabetes; more than half of the cases occur in young and middle-aged people, and the burden of chronic diseases caused by lifestyle continues to increase.

In addition, the results of various public health prevention and control measures in Tianjin have been steadily showing. In 2025, the incidence of Class A and B infectious diseases will be stable but declining, and the incidence rate of most key infectious diseases will drop year-on-year. Class C infectious diseases are mainly influenza, with obvious high incidence in winter and spring. The results of endemic disease prevention and control continued to be consolidated, and many core indicators fell to historical lows. The city's occupational diseases are at a low incidence level, new pneumoconiosis cases continue to decline, and occupational noise and high-temperature operations are currently the main occupational health risks.
