SAMMENDRAG
Basert på data fra Statistisk sentralbyrå er dødeligheten av hjerteinfarkt i fylkene studert. Dødeligheten i
alder 40-69 år økte markert i alle fylker mellom 1951-55 og 1971-75 for deretter å avta jevnt fram til 1991-
94. For menn er ingen av fylkene kommet ned på nivået i 1951-55, mens for kvinner er dødeligheten i
1991-94 lavere i fire fylker. Endringene varierte i størrelse mellom fylkene slik at rangeringen av fylkene
etter dødelighet er forskjellig i første og siste periode. Det var prosentvis en svakere økning i dødeligheten
for kvinner enn for menn fra 1951-55 til 1971-75 og også en svakere nedgang fra 1971-75 til 1991-94. Den
nåværende tendens er meget gunstig i alle helseregioner.

Mortality from myocardial infarction in Norwegian counties and health regions 1951-94.

ENGLISH SUMMARY
Data from Statistics Norway on mortality from myocardial infarction in Norwegian counties have been
studied. The mortality in the age group 40-69 years increased distinctly between 1951-55 and 1971-75 in
all counties followed by a gradual decrease until 1991-94. For men none of the counties have yet reached
the level of 1951-55, whilst for women the mortality is now lower in four of the counties. The changes
varied in magnitude between the counties so that the ranking of the counties by mortality differed between
the first and the last period. In per cent the increase in mortality was weaker for women than for men from
1951-55 to 1971-75, and there was also a weaker decline from 1971-75 to 1991-94 in women. The existing
tendency is very favourable in all health regions.
