title: [New approaches for epidemiologic studies of mortality statistics].
abstract: This report presents examples of studies done in the United States on multiple causes of death in adults in all age groups, in infants under one year, and in children. Some studies dealing with multiple factors related to infant mortality are also cited. The multiple cause approach is increasingly being applied to the analysis of mortality statistics, but more work is required to incorporate this new knowledge into the health planning process.
