Mortality in Victorian England: models and patterns.

The authors critically examine the analysis of mortality in Victorian England developed by Thomas McKeown and others. This perspective involves focusing in detail on the pattern and structure of mortality with particular reference to variations in age-specific mortality and to regional and local differences. The authors focus on two sets of problems: "first the estimation of model life tables which will assist the study of changes in the age-specific structure of mortality; and second the influence of environment on variations in the level of mortality." The authors conclude that McKeown overemphasized the importance of improvements in nutrition in the decline of mortality rates. (EXCERPT)
