title: [Evolution of Quebec's mortality rates, by cause of death].
abstract: "The evolution of mortality in Quebec over the past three decades is reviewed.  Life expectancies and potential years of life lost from birth to age 75 are calculated.  Also, interprovincial comparisons of mortality are included.  Quebec's mortality experience, in comparison to the other provinces, is poor.  Causes of death that are of particular concern are suicide and lung cancer.  Mortality rates for cerebrovascular diseases, stomach cancer and kidney diseases have markedly declined, for males as well as females." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)
