| Summary: | This publication contains data on mortality in the 15 EU member states covering the years 1994 to 1996, based on official national statistical sources and government agencies and taken from Eurostat's NewCronos database. Information is analysed in terms of general mortality broken down by age group and sex; and the medical causes of death. The data are analysed at NUTS 2 level to take account of variations between regions of particular countries. Factors influencing pattern of mortality are intrinsic (age, sex), extrinsic (biological or social collective factors, living or working conditions) and individual (lifestyle, smoking, alcoholism, driving behaviour, sexual behaviour) and are to some extent cultural or economic. The data analysis identifies a significant reduction in mortality in the 15 EU states in the last century, although there are still marked differences between states and in mortality characteristics in relation to gender. |
