Respiratory tuberculosis continues to be a health and social problem in Spain. The data for carrying out this study was obtained from the Monographic Health Studies: death rate statistics, published by the Regional Government of Valencia for the 1976-1980 five-year period. In this study, the standardized death rates and the standardized causes thereof, with regard to respiratory tuberculosis have been calculated using direct method. In addition, the distribution of tuberculosis has been broken down according to age and sex using specific rates and statistical tests to compare proportions. The results obtained make it possible to compare the different Health Care Areas with regard to the Region of Valencia, it being established that Areas 2, 5, 9-12 and 21 are those revealing an overly high death rate due to respiratory tuberculosis. Likewise, the predominance of this cause of death among men and among the groups most up in age must be stressed, due to the importance of this disease in the working environment and diverse socioeconomic factors.
呼吸道结核病在西班牙仍然是一个健康和社会问题。开展本研究的数据来自专题健康研究：死亡率统计，由巴伦西亚自治区政府发布，涵盖1976 - 1980年这五年期间。在本研究中，采用直接法计算了呼吸道结核病的标准化死亡率及其标准化病因。此外，还利用特定比率和统计检验来比较比例，按年龄和性别对结核病分布情况进行了细分。所获结果使得能够就巴伦西亚地区比较不同的医疗保健区域，确定第2、5、9 - 12和21区因呼吸道结核病导致的死亡率过高。同样，鉴于这种疾病在工作环境及各种社会经济因素中的重要性，必须强调该死因在男性和年龄较大群体中的主导地位。
