A descriptive study was made of the trend of the stomach cancer mortality rate in Spain over the period 1951-1985. An upward trend was observed until 1963, and from that time on it gradually decreased in both sexes, though the male population always had a higher rate. By age, the mortality rate showed a clear increase in the fifties, in both sexes. A cohort effect was also clearly evident, the mortality rate was gradually lower in the most recent generations and among the different age groups, which is in keeping with the gradual decrease of the "Potential years in life lost" throughout the time period investigated. The above descriptive data would doubtless be of interest should analytical studies be undertaken.

In this study we review the mortality in Spain from liver cirrhosis between 1951 and 1983. There was a decrease in the general mortality due to this cause, while in the study of mortality by sexes there was only a tendency to decrease in males but not in females. When an analysis was made according to age groups, there was a tendency to rise in younger patients, while there was a lowering in older ones. We also studied comparatively the mortality data for the same cause in France.
