title: [The mortality of World War II veterans (based on data from Rivne Province)].
abstract: The data are submitted on age-, residence-, and causes of death-related mortality patterns among veterans of the Great Patriotic War and those persons given the same status as veterans, based on results of analysis of death certificates. The highest death rates were recordable in old age (75-90 years old). Those in the rural communities die more often than not at the age of 75-90 years old and beyond that age, while those living in urban centres die in elderly (60-74 years old) and old age. The chief causes of death are considered to be disorders of the circulatory system (84.6%), neoplasms (7.6%), disorders of the respiratory tract (6.3%).
