Abstract
Evaluation of age- and sex-specific mortality from 1952 to 1979 shows a decreasing trend in most age groups since the beginning of the observation period. This has become clearly pronounced since the beginning of the seventies. As a percentage reduction of mortality in the youngest group (less than 10 years) is highest and least in the oldest group. Females had a lower mortality from appendicitis at any time of all age groups than males, with the exception of 10- to 19-year-old girls in 1972/73 until 1978/79.Keywords
