Early Death
The high mortality of nineteenth-century cities included excess summer mortality among infants and young children. Data from New York City, New Or-leans, and Chicago from 1870 to 1917 and earlier data from New York City permit an examination of this high summer mortality and its decline during the early twentieth century in relation to changes in infant feeding practices, sanitation projects to improve water supplies and methods of waste disposal…
Autonomy and well-being in the aging population
The quality of life in the year before death
OBJECTIVES. Most Americans wish to live a long healthy life, but fear disease and dependency in their last years. Until recently, little has been known about the prevalence of opposite extremes of health in old age, particularly in the period leading up to death. METHODS. We used results from the 1986 National Mortality Follow-back Survey to estimate proportions of elderly decedents who were "fully functional" or "severely restricted" in the last…
Adult Mortality Estimates from Successive Censuses
Estimates of adult mortality are presented for England and Wales during the nineteenth century using an indirect estimation procedure developed by S. H. Preston and N. G. Bennett which involves the use of census data. These estimates are compared with estimates based on vital statistics data. The results of these and other estimates all suggest a life expectancy of about 40 years of age in the 1830s and 1840s. (ANNOTATION)
