  • Title: [A comparative analysis of mortality in the Americas].
    Author: Arriaga EE.
    Journal: Estud Demogr Urbanos Col Mex; 1992; 7(2-3):407-49, 621. PubMed ID: 12318315.
    Abstract:
    "The analysis concentrates on the mortality of [the] adult population at ages 15 to 74 in 8 countries of the American continent.... Results are presented by age, sex and principal groups of causes of death. It is concluded that: a) mortality can significantly decline further in the Americas; b) there are noticeable mortality differentials by cause among countries; [and] c) all the countries still have excess mortality in certain age groups and causes of death, and hence, the mortality transition has not ended."
