title: [Seasonality and population mortality].
abstract: The authors analyze clinical records and discuss the problem of a relationship between population mortality rates and seasons. They point to a reliable correlation between cyclic changes in weather and climate and death rates due to a number of causes. The importance of bearing in mind the detected regularities when planning and utilizing the resources of specialized medical care to prevent and arrest the critical states developing at certain periods is emphasized.
