title: [A law of general mortality, including accidents:  an analytical expression and changes over time].
abstract: "We tried to find a law of general mortality, including accidents, giving probability of death, according to sex and age.  For this purpose, we used the same method as for searching a law of mortality by disease, where we defined a new scale of time based on variations of weight according to age.  The law we found has an additional expression according to the mortality by accident.  Then, we studied variations of this law according to time."  The concepts are illustrated using data for France.
