1981年9月1日至1982年8月31日期间，芬兰库奥皮奥省4个市镇的46979名居民中的所有疑似或确诊肺炎患者都被他们的主治医生报告为肺炎登记簿。此外，两名研究病理学家报告了在尸检中发现的所有肺炎病例，并检查了两份永久登记，以追溯患者的身份。97%的患者获得了胸部X光片。最后的诊断是基于放射学或尸检标准。共有546名患者(323名男性和223名女性)患有社区获得性肺炎；其中37%的患者年龄在15岁以下，31%的患者年龄在60岁或以上。19%的患者定义为慢性病，42%的患者入院治疗。病死率为4%。每1000名居民中社区获得性肺炎的总发病率为每年11.6例(男性13.9例，女性9.4例)。每年每千名居民的特定年龄发病率如下：年龄
Between September 1, 1981, and August 31, 1982, all patients with suspected or confirmed pneumonia among the 46,979 inhabitants of four municipalities in the province of Kuopio, Finland, were reported to a pneumonia register by their attending physicians. In addition, two study pathologists reported all cases of pneumonia found at autopsy, and two permanent registers were checked for retrospective identification of patients. Chest radiographs were obtained from 97% of all patients. The final diagnosis was based on radiologic or autopsy criteria. A total 546 patients (323 males and 223 females) had community-acquired pneumonia; of these, 37% were less than 15 years of age, and 31% were 60 years of age or older. Nineteen percent of the patients had defined chronic conditions, and 42% were admitted to hospital. The case fatality rate was 4%. The overall incidence of community-acquired pneumonia per 1,000 inhabitants per year was 11.6(13.9 in males, 9.4 in females). The age-specific incidence per 1,000 inhabitants per year was as follows: age
