Abstract: Abstract Infant mortality and childhood mortality 1–4 years and 5–9 years were analysed separately. In addition, adult mortality for males aged 25–59 years and females aged 20–39 years were analysed. In analysing the mortality development the different age limits for males and females were used. The reason was that age-specific mortality figures for males after age 60 were unreliable and for females they were unreliable after age 40. In the case of adult males, the observed values deviate clearly after age 65 (period 1925–54) and after age 60 (period 1955–85) from model life-table values. Among females there is the same kind of phenomenon but observed values already deviate from model values after age 40. It can be supposed that the reliability of the data among males is poor after age 60, and among females after age 40. This is taken into account when expectation of life values are calculated (see Figures 9.1 and 9.2).
