"The paper presents the Latin American demographic situation and trends since 1950, with special emphasis on differential mortality across and within countries.... The large declines in mortality, specially those at young ages, are linked to changes in epidemiological profiles which imply a greater relative importance of non-transmissible diseases and a lesser role of infectious and parasitic diseases. Population ageing also contributes to these changes due to the increased fraction of adult and elderly population. In the majority of countries, excessive mortality due to avoidable causes is still present among the poor." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
该论文呈现了自1950年以来拉丁美洲的人口状况及趋势，特别强调了不同国家之间以及国家内部的死亡率差异……死亡率的大幅下降，尤其是年轻时的死亡率下降，与流行病学特征的变化有关，这意味着非传染性疾病的相对重要性增加，而传染病和寄生虫病的作用减弱。由于成年和老年人口比例的增加，人口老龄化也促成了这些变化。在大多数国家，穷人中仍存在因可避免原因导致的过高死亡率。 （英文摘要）
