Abstract
La neumonía es una enfermedad respiratoria causante del mayor número de muertes en el mundo en niños menores de cinco años. En el presente estudio se describe la mortalidad por neumonía en España y periodo 1992-2001. Los resultados de la mortalidad se expresan por sexo (número de defunciones, edad media a la defunción, tasas crudas por 100.000 habitantes, tasas ajustadas por edad por población europea por 100.000 habitantes) y grupos de edad (tasa por 100.000 nacidos). La mortalidad por neumonía en España para la serie indicada muestra una tendencia relativamente estable, con menor valor en las mujeres; presentando en ambos sexos unas tasas de mortalidad relevantes en el grupo de edad <1 año

The results of mortality are expressed by sex (number of deaths, mean age at death, crude rates per 100,000 population, age-standardized rates per 100,000 European standard population) and age groups (rate per 100,000 births). In Spain the mortality trend at the indicated period is relatively stable, with less value in women; showing in both sexes relevant mortality rates in the age group <1 year.
