Abstract
dc.description.abstract
We analyzed causes of death before and after the March 1985 earthquake in Valparaíso, Chile. Causes of death were obtained from death certificates. Apart from death directly due to trauma during the earthquake, a significant increase was observed in deaths due to accidents (+51), cardiovascular disease (+38), malnutrition (+13) and psychiatric disorders (+13). Retired males over age 65 were most affected.
