  • Title: Mortality levels, trends and differentials in Kuwait, 1957-1983.
    Author: Kohli KL, Al-omaim MH.
    Journal: Popul Bull ESCWA; 1986 Jun; (28):91-123. PubMed ID: 12268107.
    Abstract:
    "This paper attempts to discuss briefly the trends in the level of infant and general mortality and the differentials by age, sex and nationality [for Kuwait for the years 1957-1983]. It also examines socio-economic differentials in mortality. The leading causes of death are briefly highlighted as a mixture of diseases associated with developing countries and diseases associated with developed countries." The authors find that "the factors associated with the decline in mortality have been linked with socio-economic development (as for instance, that reflected in the standard of living, nutrition, education and income) and with the expansion of health care and medical facilities."
