The costs total 18.700 million Fmk (=4.500 million US $). The production losses make 75%, compensations 6%, and health services 18% of the total costs. About 83% of the costs can be classified according to the main disease group. In the order of magnitude they are diseases of the circulatory system (24% of the costs), mental disorders (18%), diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (17%), and accidents, poisonings and violence (14%).
