title: [Diagnostic expressions and causes of death.  Some reflections on their utilization in the demographic analysis of mortality].
abstract: The author discusses "the main difficulties that arise from the use of the diagnostical expressions used to report [causes of death].... From an interdisciplinary point of view, the work stresses the need to study in depth the causal explanation of mortality.  It favours the creation of interpretative schemes showing the causal associations, direct or otherwise, between the determinants of good or bad health and the mortality problems as revealed in the death causes." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)
