Abstract

Mortality statistics for Mamre were extracted from the Regional Services Council for 1981-1987. The standardised mortality ratios were 0,70 for males and 0,55 for females. The age-specific mortality rates, including the infant mortality rate (23,6/1000 live births), were lower than the national rates for coloureds. Non-natural causes of death were well above the national level. The high proportion of non-natural deaths is reflected in potential years of life lost (PYLL) for this cause - 58% among males and 43% among females. Diseases of the circulatory system accounted for 19% and 17% of PYLL, and carcinomas for 7% and 14%.
