title: Is there a change in asthma mortality in Israel?
abstract: The statistical data for asthma mortality in Israel from 1960 to 1986 are presented. From the analysis of the data it is clear that the asthma mortality rates in Israel were among the lowest reported (for the general population as well as for the 5 to 34-year age group), although a trend toward increase was seen during 1982 to 1986.
