Concept selected: Death

Definition

The statistical concept death used traditionally in Spain comprised the deaths of all persons that had lived for more than 24 hours. As of 1975, this concept has been broadened to include live births that die during the first 24 hours.

Notes

This change is fundamental, as it implies the adoption of the death criterion recommended by International Organisations.
