Census and health data were analysed to determine changes in life expectancy at birth during 1987-2000 in the Kuwaiti population and to correlate these with cause-specific annual mortality rates. Life expectancy at birth rose from 73.3 to 75.5 years with a gap between females and males, which increased from 2.2 to 4.5 years. For all causes of death except hypertension and ill-defined conditions, males had higher mortality than females. The leading causes of death in males were ischaemic heart diseases, traffic accidents and cancer, while in females they were cancer, ischaemic heart diseases and hypertension. The problems of an ageing population will need to be considered in planning the health policies of Kuwait.
对人口普查和健康数据进行了分析，以确定1987年至2000年期间科威特人口出生时预期寿命的变化，并将这些变化与特定病因的年度死亡率相关联。出生时预期寿命从73.3岁上升至75.5岁，女性与男性之间的差距从2.2岁扩大到4.5岁。除高血压和死因不明的情况外，所有死因的男性死亡率均高于女性。男性的主要死因是缺血性心脏病、交通事故和癌症，而女性的主要死因是癌症、缺血性心脏病和高血压。在规划科威特的卫生政策时，需要考虑人口老龄化问题。
