 | | In 2000 by counties, the incidence rate of men of malignant tumours per 100,000 inhabitants was the highest in Järva and Lääne-Viru county (607 and 554, respectively) and almost a half smaller in Hiiu county (318). |
 | | In comparing counties, one has to be careful in interpreting the data of mental and behavioural disorders reverberated in the table, because the data of psychiatrists are registered by the location of providing medical services and it is not known how big share of the people getting medical care was the inhabitants of this county. |
 | | In comparing the counties, what is to be kept in mind is that not only the proportions of health care but also the proportions of morbidity (for one, 1,000, 100,000 inhabitant) reflect the work of health care institutions in counties and volume of health services provided to the people of the area. |
