This article analyzes crude death and infant mortality rates for the different population groups in Johannesburg, the largest city in the Republic of South Africa. The analysis is based on official statistics collected by the Department of Health between 1910 and 1979. Over this period, death rates have declined for white, black, Colored, and Asian citizens. However, the present situation reflects the gross inequalities in the health status of the different population groups in South Africa, a country where disease patterns and access to medical resources are as stratified as any other index of social class.
本文分析了南非共和国最大城市约翰内斯堡不同人群的粗死亡率和婴儿死亡率。该分析基于卫生部在1910年至1979年间收集的官方统计数据。在此期间，白人、黑人、有色人种和亚洲公民的死亡率均有所下降。然而，目前的情况反映了南非不同人群健康状况的严重不平等，在这个国家，疾病模式和医疗资源的获取与社会阶层的任何其他指标一样存在分层。
