Abstract

In this study of mortality in the Federal Republic of Germany, the author describes methods used in and results of a regional study of causes of death by state. The data analyzed are for the years 1980-1985. Causes compared include carcinoma; circulatory, respiratory, and digestive system diseases; accidents; and suicide. Tables provide information on death according to selected causes and state, 1980-1985; life expectancy at birth by state, 1970-1972 and 1980-1985; and deaths by cause and state for people up to age 75 based on the 1980-1985 life tables. Results indicate that despite general decreases in mortality and increases in life expectancy, regional differences persist.
