[Mortality and morbidity due to alcoholism].

The basic data used are statistics of causes of death, with correction taking into account unspecified causes of death. In a first part, we show different aspects of mortality due to alcoholism and cirrhosis of liver: variations recording sex and age group, time evolution, seasonal variations, regional variations. In a second part, we estimated, with a model, prevalence and incidence rates of these two causes of death, according sex and age group.

[Alcoholism and risk factors].

The basic data used are: statistics of causes of death by sex for the 45-64 years age group, 17 socio-demographic factors, blood groups and overweight. In a first part, we measure the statistical linkage between mortality by alcoholism and cirrhosis of liver and socio-demographic and biometric factors. In a second part, we show the weight of alcoholism as risk factor in the mortality by cause, the linkage between alcohol consumption and cancers, the weight of alcoholism in an health index.

[Alcohol consumption].

The basic data used are statistics of causes of death due to alcoholism by sex and age group. In a first part, we estimated, with some simple hypotheses, alcohol consumption according sex and age group. In a second part, we show the existence of two kinds of consumption: endogenous or innate, exogenous or acquired. Finally, in a third part, we measure the linkage between alcohol and general and endogenous consumption.

[Alcoholism and mortality by cause, alcoholism and tobacco].

The basic data used are statistics of causes of death by sex and age group, with corrections taking into account unspecified causes of death. In a first part, we measure, with a model, the statistical linkage between mortality by cause and alcohol consumption, estimated from mortality of alcoholism. In a second part, the linkage has been calculated without influence of tobacco consumption.

Ultradian and circadian respiratory rhythms in grouped small laboratory vertebrate species as a method to assess the effects of environmental challenges.

The recording over several days of the respiratory gases of groups of different laboratory vertebrates (mice, rats, quails), placed in a chamber with controlled ventilation, and in standardized environmental conditions of temperature, humidity, light, noise and feeding, shows ultradian (tau less than 24 hr) and circadian (tau congruent to 24 hr) rhythms. A simple variance analysis method shows periodic carbon dioxide changes, due to different environmental stimuli. Societal, light, acoustical, carbon monoxide and starvation challenges are given as examples. This technique enables us quickly to collect, on a great number of animals, data which correspond to societal behavior changes peculiar to the considered species.

[A study on the distribution of the consumption of tobacco and alcohol].

An analysis of the distribution of tobacco consumption and alcohol-related mortality in France by sex and department is presented for the population aged 45 to 64. It is shown that the "population can be decomposed into two sets such that, for each of them, tobacco and alcohol consumption distributions are log-normal. [It is suggested] that consumption is normal for one set and an endogenous predisposition for the other." (summary in ENG)

Evaluation of morbidity from mortality.

The authors have attempted to measure morbidity involved in mortality, from French regional statistics of causes of death, for the 1968-1970 period. Particularly, they have estimated prevalence rates (proportion of patients at a given moment) and incidence rates (annual proportion of new patients). These rates have been assessed by sex, and for age groups: 15-44 years, 45-64 years, 65-74 years, 75 years and more, and for 18 leading causes of death, according to the International Classification of Diseases (1965). Statistics of causes of deaths have been corrected to take into account non specified causes of death.

[Evaluation of morbidity on the basis of mortality].

Prevalence and incidence rates of leading diseases are estimated by sex and age groups for the population of France aged 15 and over. "These estimations have been made on the basis of the regional statistics of causes of death in France, during the 1968-1970 period. A simple regression model has been used. The number of patients suffering from a given disease is defined as being the part of the population statistically linked to mortality by this disease. The results obtained can generally be compared to those available from other sources. As for cancers, it appears that the estimated annual number of new cases is four times higher than the number of registered new cases." (summary in ENG, GER)
