title: [Epidemiology of chronic non-specific pulmonary diseases in Yugoslavia (author's transl)].
abstract: In Yugoslavia the diseases of the respiratory system (without tuberculosis) ranges with 23% in front of all other organ-localised diseases. 53--95% of all chronic non-specific lung diseases are registrated in the chest clinics of the different republics. 67% of all lung diseases registrated belong to the obstructive syndrom, 6% are bronchial carcinomas and 27% represent the group of other chronic pulmonary diseases. 31,5%  of all patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis are younger than 50 years old, 34,7% are in the age-group between 50-65 years. Assuming the best registered incidence and prevalence rates of bronchial carcinoma, chronic bronchitis, asthma and emphysema in Slowenia as a basis, the expected morbidity of these diseases in each autonomic republic are compared.
