Com-paring mortal incidents on months and seasons within calendar year, in research the role of the seasonal factor was studied. Within each administrative region (Astara 518 and 199, Lerik 342 and 162, Lenkoran 1012 and 345, Masalli 1023 and 427, Yardymli 271 and 114) all mortal incidents, including the mortal incidents connected with neurologic diseases were analysed. It was established that seasonal character of death risk objectively exists and covers all mortal incidents happening for any reasons, and also connected with neurologic diseases. Regularity of increase of mortality risk was observed in spring and reduction - in autumn. In administrative regions in different months change of mortality risk was various. In winter, in summer and in autumn the mortality risk was in Astara at one level; whereas, in winter in Lenkoran and Yardymli, in autumn in Masalli and in summer in Lerik the mortality risk was at the lowest level.
