El Ivie analyzed your database tables for large groups of
cause of death.
data allow to observe major trends in mortality in Spain since 1975.
Spain, April 2012.- the information provided by the tables of mortality, the Ivie produced from 2009, goes far beyond the life expectancy at birth. It is possible, as well as useful, enter details about the causes of death.

The work has been done by the researcher of the Ivie and Professor of the Universitat of Valencia Francisco j. Goerlich.

The data show, among other findings:
-diseases of the circulatory system, the respiratory system and tumor remain the most likely causes of death in Spain
-women are more likely to die by men, because of tumors and diseases of the circulatory system
-the probability of death due to causes external to the disease has declined over the past 35 years, keeping men more likely to
