[Principal causes of death and hospitalization in the region of Montreal].
"The aim of this article is to draw a portrait of the principal causes of death and hospitalization on the Island of Montreal. Age and sex specific rates are compared to those for all of Quebec. Furthermore, the evolution of mortality rates by cause of death is traced from 1976 to 1990. AIDS, which was unheard of before 1983, now represents the number one ranking cause of death among men aged 25 to 44 years.  For most of the causes considered here, a decline in mortality has been observed between 1976 and 1990.  However, mortality rates for pulmonary diseases have increased significantly for both sexes, as have rates for lung cancer among women." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)
