title: [The health care system and regional mortality:  a causal analysis].
abstract: "We examine the impact of the health care system on regional adult mortality differences in Spain, distinguishing between the demand and supply of health care.  We have used a covariance analysis model, fitted to the data using LISREL 7.  The distinction made between supply and demand of medical care leads to a significant spatial impact of the use of the health care system on adult mortality." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
