  • Title: [AIDS--a leading cause of death among young people in Switzerland].
    Author: April K, Köster R.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1994 Nov 26; 124(47):2119-22. PubMed ID: 7992026.
    Abstract:
    Analysis of Swiss mortality statistics reveals that from 1980 to 1992 AIDS has become one of the leading causes of death among Swiss women and men aged 25 to 44 years. In 1992 77% (n = 414) of all AIDS-related death cases (n = 540) were in this age group. In the mortality statistics of men aged 25-44 years, AIDS (n = 307; death rate = 27.8/100,000) was found to be in third place after accidents and suicides. Among women aged 25-44 years, AIDS (n = 107; death rate = 9.9/100,000) was second after cancer. In spite of the inadequate epidemiological data position in Switzerland it may be suspected that in a few years AIDS will be the leading cause of death for both sexes in this age group in Switzerland.
