Abstract

Depuis 1901, l'Office fédéral de la statistique publie, au moins une fois par décennie, les statistiques de mortalité de la tuberculose. Les données de mortalité par tuberculose des voies respiratoires de 1901 à 1991 ont été analysées rétrospectivement àfin de déterminer le taux de décès pour chaque cohorte de naissance. L'analyse des données transversales (telles qu'elles sont publiées) montre une augmentation de la mortalité avec l'âge dans chaque décade. En revanche, J'analyse par cohorte de naissance montre que cette observation résulte d'une mortalité beaucoup plus élevée parmi les jeunes adultes de chaque cohorte et que la mortalité par tuberculose pulmonaire a toujours touché surtout les jeunes adultes en Suisse. Les données indiquent également que la mortalité due à la tuberculose en Suisse est en diminution depuis au moins 160 ans et qu'elle avait probablement déjà atteint son maximum au cours du 18e siècle.
