Abstract

Violent death varies substantially according to age, reflecting the riskfactors which confront individuals at different stages in their lives.International comparison of the age-distribution of deaths by violence showsgreat variation from one region to another. Using cluster analysis, groupingsof countries can be made on the basis of the level of violent death, itsage-composition and its causes. It is possible to show that some countrieswith heavy and with light burdens of violent death have characteristicprofiles of mortality according to age and to cause of death. For example,surmortality in some Eastern (Hungary and Czechoslovakia) and in someNorthern and Western countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France,Norway and Switzerland) produces a kind of horizontal corridor in Europe.Differences between countries in respect of mortality from motor vehicletraffic accidents, falls and suicide account to a considerable degree for thepatterns observed.
