To compare the evolution of the principal causes of death in Catalonia, Spain and to assess the impact of AIDS as a contributing factor to the increase of mortality in young people in Catalonia.
Data from the mortality register of Department of Health in Catalonia has been used. We have compared the principal causes of death in Catalonia for the global population and for the group of 20 to 39 year olds. We have calculated the potential years of life lost (PYLL) between the ages of 13 to 65.
Since the first case of AIDS in 1981, AIDS has been the cause of death with the most important increase for the global population in Catalonia. AIDS is the sixth cause of death and the first cause of PYLL. For the young population in Catalonia (aged 20-39) AIDS became, in 1993, the first cause of death. From 1992 to 1993 the PYLL due to AIDS increased 5% in men and 51% in women.
The present situation has led AIDS being the first cause of death among young population. The collaboration between mortality registers and AIDS registers is absolutely essential to assess more accurately the impact of AIDS on the mortality of population.
比较西班牙加泰罗尼亚地区主要死因的演变情况，并评估艾滋病作为导致加泰罗尼亚年轻人死亡率上升的一个因素所产生的影响。
使用了加泰罗尼亚地区卫生部死亡率登记处的数据。我们比较了加泰罗尼亚地区全球人口以及20至39岁人群的主要死因。我们计算了13至65岁之间潜在寿命损失年数（PYLL）。
自1981年首例艾滋病病例以来，艾滋病一直是加泰罗尼亚地区全球人口中死亡人数增长最为显著的死因。艾滋病是第六大死因，也是潜在寿命损失年数的首要原因。对于加泰罗尼亚地区的年轻人群（20 - 39岁），艾滋病在1993年成为首要死因。从1992年到1993年，男性因艾滋病导致的潜在寿命损失年数增加了5%，女性增加了51%。
当前状况致使艾滋病成为年轻人群中的首要死因。死亡率登记处与艾滋病登记处之间的合作对于更准确评估艾滋病对人口死亡率的影响绝对至关重要。
