Abstract

The authors observed over time a sample of 1212 drug addicts in the city of Bologna and pointed out that AIDS-related deaths are constantly increasing while deaths due to overdose, although high in the Emilia-Romagna region, are still steady since 1984. The mortality rate AIDS-related is higher in female drug users than in males, whereas males are more prone to die for overdose. HIV positivity is not a relevant factor associated to deaths for overdose and subjects aged between 25 and 44 years show the highest mortality rate. During the period 1984 to 1995, 126 drug addicts died (10.4% of the observed population) and the highest mortality rate was registered after 1989. No death was reported between 1977 and 1983.
