Przyczyny zgonów w Łodzi w latach 1960-1973
Streszczenie
The problem of mortality rate of inhabitants of Łódź according to causes
of deaths was discussed in comparison with four big towns of
Poland i.e. Warsaw, Poznań, Cracow, and Wroclaw. In the light of
this comparison for the period of 196O-1974 the situation in Łód£ is
rather unfavourable. One of the main causes of deaths, and namely diseases of circulatory
system show the highest dynamics in Łódź. On the other hand, coefficients
of deaths caused by neoplasm continue to be higiest despite
lower than in other towns growth rate.
Mortality due to tuberculosis, which was one of the main causes
of deaths in the past, has been reduced to an almost negligible
degree.
This unfavourable situation of Łódź in ths field of mortality
rate as compared with other towns was due not only to deaths caused
by neoplasma, and circulatory diseases but also to deaths caused by
other factors (e.g. cirrhosis of liver, accidents, pneumonia and
others).
