[Mortality rate in the capital city of Warsaw in the eighties].
Percentage of the elderly is higher in the Warsaw metropolitan area than that in other parts of Poland. This difference became more pronounced in the eighties. An analysis has shown that considering changes in the population age structure overall mortality rate in the Warsaw metropolitan area tended to decrease. It resulted from the decrease in mortality rate in the youngest (under 30 years) and the oldest population groups (over 74 years). An increase in mortality rate was noted in some subgroups of middle age and an advanced age (up to 74 years). It did not change the general trend, i.e. decrease in overall mortality rate. Mortality rate of males inhabiting Warsaw metropolitan area was lower in nearly all age groups in comparison with indices for the whole country. The same was seen in the groups of the youngest and oldest women. It may be assumed that health conditions favor men over women inhabiting Warsaw metropolitan area in comparison with the values for the whole country.
