Abstract

"Using cluster analysis, groupings of countries can be made on the basis of the level of violent death, its age-composition and its causes. It is possible to show that some countries with heavy and with light burdens of violent death have characteristic profiles of mortality according to age and cause of death. For example, surmortality in some Eastern (Hungary and Czechoslovakia) and in some Northern and Western countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Norway and Switzerland) produces a kind of horizontal corridor in Europe. Differences between countries in respect of mortality from motor vehicle traffic accidents, falls and suicide account to a considerable degree for the patterns observed."
