[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS cn5XxR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Study objective : To analyse international variations of trends in "avoidable" mortality (1980-1997).

Setting : Fifteen countries of the European Union, the Czech Republic, and Hungary. Participants : 19 avoidable causes of death among men and women aged 0-64 years. Mortality and population data were derived from the WHO mortality database ; and perinatal mortality rates, from the Health for All statistical database. Main results : Avoidable mortality declined (1980-1997) in all the countries except Hungary. The difference between the trends in avoidable and non-avoidable mortality was small (-2.4% compared with - 1.5%) and diminished over time. The largest trend variations between countries are attributable to causes mainly or partly amenable to prevention. For five of the 19 causes of death the international variations diminished over time. Various countries show trends that deviate significantly (p
