Abstract Background Despite professional recommendations to consider gender-affirming hormonal and surgical interventions for transgender individuals with gender dysphoria, the long-term effect of such interventions on mental health is largely unknown. This study aims to ascertain the prevalence of mood and anxiety disorder healthcare visits and antidepressant and anxiolytic prescriptions in 2015 as a function of gender dysphoria diagnosis and gender-affirming medical treatment in the entire Swedish population. Methods This study used the Swedish Total Population Register (n = 9,747,324), linked to the National Patient Register and Prescribed Drug Register. Among those who received a gender dysphoria diagnosis between 2005 and 2015 (n = 2,679), mental health treatment in 2015 was examined as a function of length of time since gender-affirming medical treatment. The main outcome measure was mood and anxiety disorder healthcare visits and antidepressant and anxiolytic prescriptions. Results Compared to the general population, individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria were about six times as likely to have had a mood and anxiety disorder healthcare visit and more than three times as likely to have been prescribed antidepressants and anxiolytics. Years since initiating hormones was not significantly related to likelihood of mental health treatment (AOR: 1.01; 95% CI: 0.98, 1.03). However, increased time since last gender-affirming surgery was associated with reduced mental health treatment (AOR: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.87, 0.98). Conclusions In this first total population study of transgender individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria, the longitudinal association between gender-affirming surgery and reduced likelihood of mental health treatment lends support to the decision to provide gender-affirming surgeries to transgender individuals who seek them. Main messages: This study lends support to the decision to provide gender-affirming surgeries to transgender individuals who seek them.

The results of the 2002 census pointed out to an enormous increase in the number of inhabitants who were nationally undeclared or undecided. In the inter-census period 1991-2002, this population group increased for more than ten times (from 5 054 to 55 016). According to the share in the total population of Vojvodina (2.71%), they are - along with the Croats (2.78%) and the Slovaks (2.79%) - located immediately after the most numerous nationalities, the Serbs and the Hungarians. The paper analyzes the basic demographic characteristics (gender and age structure) of the undeclared and undecided persons, as well as the differences and similarities with other nationalities. The paper also presents the unequal spatial distribution of that population (at the settlement and municipal level), pointing out the interdependence between a great number of Yugoslavs and the enormous increase in the persons who were nationally undeclared or undecided. Using the features mother tongue and religion, the author tried to establish the relative relation between the number of the nationally undeclared and the number of nationally undecided persons.

Specific Mortality

The age-pattern of mortality can be represented by various parametric models. In the present paper we consider a mixture of Weibull, Inverse-Weibull, and Gompertz-Makeham (GoMa) survival functions and Heligman–Pollard model to fit U.S. life table 2014.  We use loss criterion for parameter estimation and demonstrate fitting of model. Both mixture and Heligman–Pollard model fit the mortality pattern reasonably well up to age 90.  We notice that the estimated mortality rates fit the actual pattern fairly well, although the fit at the earlier ages could be better. We have obtained the plots using our estimated values. The plots for mortality pattern of total population and other demographic characteristics (sex and race) are also considered.
