title: [Determinants of mortality].
abstract: "In this article determinants of mortality [in the Netherlands] are studied.... The main results are the following:  For all ages women have lower mortality risks than men.... Married people live longer than those who are not.  However, the cause is not certain.... In large cities mortality rates are higher than in small towns (especially due to diseases of the lungs and to narcotics, alcohol and violent causes of death).  People with a high socio-economic status have lower mortality risks than those with a low status." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
