Summary/Abstract: The demographic behavior of a population was strongly affected by a political economic and social transformation in 1989 in the Czech Republic. As the key factor of demographic processes is mortality, this paper strives to address the development of selected mortality determinants according to cause (blood circulation system, respiratory system, digestive system and external causes of mortality) using mean coefficient of growth. This paper aims at identification of relevant demographic and socioeconomic determinants of the diseases as the mortality causes in the South Moravian Region and in the districts of the region in 2006–2015 by means of multivariate regression analysis (ENTER method). Based on the method, it may be conceded that out of 11 demographic and socioeconomic factors, indicators such as ageing index and housing allowance turned out to be statistically significant (p<0,05). Analyzed indicators show spatial differentiation and determine with varying level of impact the mortality in the districts of the South Moravia Region. Brno-Country District may be considered as a district with the most favorable demographic and socioeconomic determinants of mortality (low ageing index, ageing dynamics, death rate and the lowest housing allowances). By contrast, Brno-City District exhibits negative tendencies towards mortality determinants (high ageing index, death rate, and the highest housing allowances). From the national economy standpoint, the changes in the mortality ratios according to causes represent a major potential for the use and development of human capital.
