_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The object of class 'sts' contains the number of all cause
     mortality from 1994-2008 in Denmark for each of the six age groups
     <1, 1-4, 5-14, 15-44, 45-64, 65-74, 75-84 and 85 years. A special
     feature of such EuroMOMO data is that weeks are handled as defined
     by the ISO 8601 standard, which can be handled by the 'sts' class.

     The 'population' slot of the 'momo' object contains the population
     size in each of the six age groups. These are yearly data obtained
     from the StatBank Denmark.

     The aim of the EuroMOMO project is to develop and strengthen
     real-time monitoring of mortality across Europe; this will enhance
     the management of serious public health risks such as pandemic
     influenza, heat waves and cold snaps. For further details see the
     homepage of the EuroMOMO project.
