title: [Liver cirrhosis: study of the evolution of mortality in Spain (1951-1983)].
abstract: In this study we review the mortality in Spain from liver cirrhosis between 1951 and 1983. There was a decrease in the general mortality due to this cause, while in the study of mortality by sexes there was only a tendency to decrease in males but not in females. When an analysis was made according to age groups, there was a tendency to rise in younger patients, while there was a lowering in older ones. We also studied comparatively the mortality data for the same cause in France.
