The present dissertation studies an issue which has acquired great importance during the pandemic period and concerns the factors by which mortality is determined. This issue is very important because, in addition to its medical dimension, it has social and political implications. The main focus of the study is what are the factors that predict mortality, how they are measured and which of them are, ultimately, important for assessing the risk of loss of life for a group of people or a given population. To answer this question, first a theoretical analysis is performed and then statistical tools such as descriptive, univariate and bivariate analysis and logistic regression are applied. The main areas of focus of the work are the main causes of death in Europe, the demographic, social and individual factors that affect mortality, and how EU Member States are compared to each other in terms of mortality. The theoretical part of the study shows that the main diseases that cause high mortality in the Union are cardiovascular and cancer. In Europe, both social and individual and demographic factors are of great importance. It is, though, concluded that, life expectancy remains consistently high. However, using statistical tools, it is found that the main demographic factors, namely gender and age, play a key role in mortality. This is the case even if other determinants such as health level and social / economic factors are taken into account in the analysis. Also, marital status is important, with people living alone experiencing increased mortality. The country in which a person resides is also important, as is the level of education and the level of health. Moreover, regarding the economic factor, its effect on mortality does not seem to be verified when all other factors are taken into account. Finally, only recent data on the individual play an important role in estimating relative mortality.
