Abstract

  The research aims to determine the rate of death cases in Iraq and the environmental performance index for Iraq for the period (2008-2022) and how to find a correlation between them and their type, by deriving the Pearson relationship with regard to the important results: changes in deaths for the population of Iraq for the period (2008-2022), from 7 deaths per 1,000 people up to 4.8 deaths per 1,000 people for the year 2022. The instability of Iraq’s ranking according to environmental performance values ​​for the period (2008-2022), as it was ranked 135th globally out of 149 participating countries, achieving 53.9 points for the year 2008, and its global ranking fell to 169th place, achieving improvement. Only 27.8 points Among 180 countries for the year 2022. Ischemic heart disease was the highest cause compared to the rates of other causes of death for the Iraqi population, as deaths from it accounted for 11% of the total deaths of the Iraqi population for the year 2022. The highest rate of population deaths resulting from the infection of cancerous tumors was recorded for those with a tumor in tracheostomy, which reached 16% of the total mortality rate, and the Pearson correlation coefficient between the general mortality rate and the values ​​of the environmental performance index in Iraq for the period (2008-2022) was (0.41), meaning the relationship is direct (positive).
