This paper comments on the drop in coronary heart disease mortality observed in Switzerland among middle-aged men since the mid-seventies. Several methodological points are made regarding the consistency of this decline (relationships with mortality from other causes), and the reasons for this drop (possible change in population mix). It is suggested that a more complete use of vital statistics is still possible and that this can provide useful clues for the assessment and the interpretation of mortality trends in the field of cardiovascular epidemiology.
本文对瑞士自70年代中期以来中年男性冠心病死亡率下降的情况进行了评论。针对这一下降趋势的一致性（与其他原因导致的死亡率的关系）以及下降原因（人口结构可能的变化）提出了几个方法学要点。建议仍可更全面地利用人口动态统计数据，这可为心血管流行病学领域死亡率趋势的评估和解读提供有用线索。
