Cause-deleted life tables for Canada (1921 to 1981) : an approach towards analysing epidemiologic transition / by Dhruva Nagnur and Michael Nagrodski.CS11-0019/13E-PDF

"A series of cause-deleted life tables for every decade from 1921 to 1981 has been developed for Canada for males and females. A quantitative assessment of the epidemiologic shifts in mortality over the past six decades has been attempted through the parameters of the life tables and indices such as Entropy. A method to test the consistency of the derived cause-deleted life tables is presented. The importance of such tables, in the analysis and projection of mortality and the examination of health-resource priorities, is stressed."--Abstract.
