The aim of this paper is to compare respiratory mortality, cancer and tuberculosis excluded, in 10 countries during 12 years. Mortality data came from World Health Statistics Annual of the WHO and age adjusted rates were calculated. For all causes respiratory mortality, acute pathologies and chronic obstructions not elsewhere classified, United Kingdom and above all Eire have the highest rates; Italy, France and Germany have the lowest rates; the other countries (Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Canada, United States) have rates similar, sometimes equal). For chronic conditions, Denmark has the highest rates, Canada and United States the lowest; Eire and United Kingdom begin a great decrease from 1983. On the whole, differences between countries do not vary very much with the years or the pathologies and the evolution over the time is not very marked apart from some countries.
本文旨在比较10个国家在12年期间排除癌症和结核病后的呼吸系统死亡率。死亡率数据来自世界卫生组织的《世界卫生统计年鉴》，并计算了年龄调整率。在所有原因导致的呼吸系统死亡率、急性病症以及未另作分类的慢性阻塞方面，英国尤其是爱尔兰的比率最高；意大利、法国和德国的比率最低；其他国家（比利时、丹麦、荷兰、加拿大、美国）的比率相似，有时相等。对于慢性病，丹麦的比率最高，加拿大和美国的比率最低；爱尔兰和英国自1983年起大幅下降。总体而言，各国之间的差异随年份或病症变化不大，除了一些国家外，随时间的演变并不十分显著。
