Mortality data collected from 1968 to 1982 were screened in order to identify all death certificates listing stroke as underlying cause of death. Annual age- and sex-specific death rates were calculated using population data obtained from the 1968, 1975 and 1982 census of the French population. Data showed that stroke mortality has been declining by more than 30%, in most age groups both in men and women. There was a slight trend for this decline to be greater between 50 and 75 years of age in both sexes. A small increase was observed in women under 40 years of age. Large and stable variations in stroke mortality were found within France.
对1968年至1982年收集的死亡率数据进行了筛选，以确定所有将中风列为根本死因的死亡证明。使用从1968年、1975年和1982年法国人口普查获得的人口数据计算了按年龄和性别划分的年度死亡率。数据显示，在大多数年龄组中，男性和女性的中风死亡率都下降了30%以上。在50至75岁的两性中，这种下降趋势略有加大。40岁以下女性的中风死亡率略有上升。在法国国内，中风死亡率存在巨大且稳定的差异。
