• Health of newborns 2008 (BFS)
• Swiss mortality tables (BAG)
• Causes of death analysis (BFS)
• Bulletin d'information démographique 3/2007 (BFS)
• World Health Organization country profile (who.int)

Much of the Swiss data is part of BEVNAT (Statistik der natürlichen Bevölkerungsbewegung), which is only accessible by government workers via Infostar. We were unable to find the source data in STAT-TAB.
