The data available at the National Statistics Division of the Ministry of Public Health about the 414 death caused by tuberculosis in Cuba during 1987-1993 were studied. They were tabulated by age group, sex, province of residence, month of death, and necropsy. It was observed a gradual increase of the rate from 1991 on, amunting to 7.82 per 1 million inhabitants in 1993. The years of potential life lost (3,114) were calculated. Mortality in the male sex determined the rise of the rate during that period (p < 0.05). Deaths predominated among individuals over 65 with a rate of 26.09 per 100,000 inhabitants. Most of the deaths occurred in October. The provinces with the highest mortality rates due to tuberculosis were applied to the differences found.

D003462 Cuba An island in the Greater Antilles in the West Indies, south of Florida. With the adjacent islands it forms the Republic of Cuba. Its capital is Havana. It was discovered by Columbus on his first voyage in 1492 and conquered by Spain in 1511. It has a varied history under Spain, Great Britain, and the United States but has been independent since 1902. The name Cuba is said to be an Indian name of unknown origin but the language that gave the name is extinct, so the etymology is a conjecture.
