Available statistical categories can provide a lot of insight into contemporary concepts of death disease and illness but my purpose in this article is rather to discuss in the form of a case study an empirical historical problem occupying many scholars: What happened during the initial phase of the epidemiologic transition in the Western world?...This investigation illustrates and tests the possibilities of using Swedish data on causes of death among infants and young children before and during the first phase of the epidemiological transition that is from 1750 to 1850.
