According to the latest reports, more people died in Spain than were being born, with figures reaching over 446,982 deaths versus 321,164 newborns. The number of deaths experienced an upward trend over the 11-year period, presumably due to Spain’s aging population and, in more recent years, the spread of COVID-19. 

Circulatory system diseases and cancer ranked as the most common causes of death in Spain

The cause of death can vary significantly across the globe and depends highly on economic development, the presence of a competent healthcare system, and one’s choices in lifestyle. In Spain, diseases related to the circulatory system and certain infectious and parasitic diseases ranked as the main causes of death, amounting to nearly 50,000 cases in the 2022. The annual number of deaths as a result of a disease of the circulatory system has remained steady over the most recent years, with the illness being more common among female than male individuals.

Furthermore, of the total 276,260 new cases of cancer in Spain in 2023, roughly 158,500 were diagnosed among male individuals.
