Figure 6. Models of the growth of the characteristic death toll for developed (a) and developing (b)
countries. Estimates are given for the periods of 1900-1959 (+) and 1960-1999 (
). Dotted
lines are straight lines corresponding to a linear growth pattern of the death toll with time.
The change in growth pattern of the total death toll
V shows a transition from nonlinear
to linear growth pattern. There is also a tendency to decrease in the death toll in the developed countries.
