This paper examines intercounty mortality differentials 1979-1981 in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate, two states of the FRG. Its objectives are the presentation and analysis of regional mortality patterns by sex, age group and cause of death. Interregional migration as a bias to studies of regional mortality differentials is examined. The statistical relationships between population density as a general socio-economic indicator and different sex and age specific mortality rates are studied. They were found to vary considerably by causes of death, here motor vehicle accident and lung cancer mortality.

Abstract
This paper examines intercounty mortality differentials 1979-1981 in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate, two states of the FRG. Its objectives are the presentation and analysis of regional mortality patterns by sex, age group and cause of death. Interregional migration as a bias to studies of regional mortality differentials is examined. The statistical relationships between population density as a general socio-economic indicator and different sex and age specific mortality rates are studied. They were found to vary considerably by causes of death, here motor vehicle accident and lung cancer mortality.File in questo prodotto:
