Statistical data indicate, however, that the suicide rate in Czechoslovakia has declined during the last twenty years. Suicides decreased significantly in the Czech Republic while, in Slovakia, their number stagnated after their growth in the 1960s. The rate of suicides, however, has always been higher in the Czech Republic than in Slovakia. The rate at the beginning of the 1990s was the lowest of the post-war years. The greatest decline has been noted for the age groups 15-24 years and 40-59 years. The male suicide rate is much higher than for females, especially in Slovakia and the difference is still increasing. In the 60s and 70s, the suicide rate of the capital city of Prague and Bratislava was much higher than in smaller towns and villages, but these rates are now tending to draw closer.

Morbidity as per the International Classification of Diseases is given and it is noted that morbidity is significantly dependent on the level of obesity and educational attainment. It is surprising to note that morbidity is found to be lower in the more polluted districts. The results obtained will be elaborated upon and analyzed in greater detail.

Development of Mothers' Family Status (Prazska studie deti narozenych mimo manzelstvi II. Vyvoj rodinneho stavu matek) (p. 216-222) The authors study the change in family status of 327 unmarried mothers who were interviewed in the three months following childbirth and followed up in a longitudinal survey. Some of the mothers married before the child was one year old, or three years old, others divorced, others were widowed or else married a man who was not the child's biological father. Generally speaking, there was a distinct tendency for these mothers to marry the child's father, or to cohabit with another man. The number remaining single was low.

The study deals with 597 families where marriages were concluded before 1800. The fertility level remained relatively stable and birth control was not required. The number of children varied basically with mothers' age and marriage duration. For those women who married between the ages of 15 and 19, the average number of children was 9.2 while those marrying between the ages of 20 and 24 had an average of 8.0 children.

The number of immigrants arriving into the country has been greater than the numbers lost through emigration. Fertility has decreased to the point where the number of births in 1991 was the lowest on record since Independence in 1918. The number of legal abortions has increased due to the lack of modern contraceptive methods. After a high rate of nuptiality in 1990, the level then dropped, while still remaining higher than the average European level. Divorce rates have decreased, but with significant differences between regions. The state of the environment has deteriorated and the health services are insufficient. Life expectancy is still the lowest in Europe while the growth rate in Slovakia is higher than that of the Czech Republic.
