title: Mortality levels, trends and differentials in Kuwait, 1957-1983.
abstract: "This paper attempts to discuss briefly the trends in the level of infant and general mortality and the differentials by age, sex and nationality [for Kuwait for the years 1957-1983].  It also examines socio-economic differentials in mortality.  The leading causes of death are briefly highlighted as a mixture of diseases associated with developing countries and diseases associated with developed countries."  The authors find that "the factors associated with the decline in mortality have been linked with socio-economic development (as for instance, that reflected in the standard of living, nutrition, education and income) and with the expansion of health care and medical facilities."
