title: Theoretical models and prediction of the changes in case mortality patterns in major Chinese cities.
abstract: "Through a comparison of different methods, this study is intended to set up more satisfactory theoretical models of case mortality patterns in major Chinese cities, to ascertain the manner of changes in the time sequence of various diseases, and to predict the trends of these changes.  This study is based on the data of causes of death in the country's 14 cities having a population of over one million, where there are complete statistical registration systems and reliable data."
