title: [Adult mortality between ages 15 and 49 in Cuba.  Levels and trends, 1960-1982].
abstract: Mortality levels and trends for the population of Cuba aged 15-49 are analyzed.  Differences according to age, sex, and cause of death are described.  "Results show a trend to decreased mortality in most of the causes, particularly marked for infectious diseases and maternal deaths; accidents and other unnatural causes are [the] first cause of death in the younger groups; cardiovascular diseases and neoplasias increased their relative importance, even more in those older than 30 years."
