We have illustrated how cartography can be used in the study of regional mortality. We chose as an example ischaemic heart disease among males aged 30-69 in Norway during the period 1966-87. Choropleth maps (area shading) and circle maps were used to demonstrate regional differences both as regards level of mortality and mortality time trends. A probability map was produced to show the degree of statistical significance for deviation from the national mortality rate. The examples in this study revealed some regional mortality patterns not previously reported. We conclude that mapping is a valuable method in the study of vital statistics
我们已经说明了制图法如何应用于区域死亡率研究。我们选取1966年至1987年期间挪威30至69岁男性的缺血性心脏病作为示例。采用分级统计图（区域阴影）和圆形图来展示死亡率水平和死亡时间趋势方面的区域差异。绘制了概率图以显示偏离全国死亡率的统计显著性程度。本研究中的示例揭示了一些此前未报告过的区域死亡率模式。我们得出结论，制图法是生命统计学研究中的一种有价值的方法。
