THE TREND OF THE BIRTH RATE BY AGE OF MOTHER AND ORDER OF BIRTH

Alfred J. Lotka; Mortimer Spiegelman

With this in view, an analysis is now presented of the trend of reproduction rates in the United States. The series of rates computed begins with 1920 and extends to 1938, and relates to all but a few states of the expanding Birth Registration Area.2 In computing the rates, no at

The demographic viewpoint in the vital and health statistics monographs of The American Public Health Association

Mortimer Spiegelman

ResumenEl plan incluye monografías sobre 16 tópicos específicoe y un volumen revisado. Los tópicos específicos incluyen una monografía sobre fecundidad, y otra sobre matrimonio y divorcio, y una sobre factores sociales y económicos en la mortalidad, todos los cuales son de obvio interés demográfico, El núcleo de desarrollo de las monografías que tratan de tópicos de enfermedades y accidentes, homicidio y suicidio, es un programa de tabulación que implica tasas específicae de mortalidad y edad ajustada basadas en las muertes en los E. Unidos para el período de tres años 1959-61 y el censo de población de 1960. El programa pide una serie de tabulaciones standard comunes a cada monografia y tambien una serie de tabulaciones especialee diseñadas para encontrar necesidades particulares para cada tópico como está especificado por sus autores. Esta riqueza de detalles demográficos relativos a la mortalidad en los Estados Unidos durante 1959-61 llena solamente un aspecto de su cuadro de salud. Para completar este cuadro de salud, se ha hecho uso del gran vol1tmen de datos de morbilidad proporcionados por la Entrevista Nacional de Salud y el Examen de Estudios (surveys) y una amplia variedad de otros estudiosespecializados. En todos esios casos los resultados son invariablemente descritos en términoe de características demográficas de edad y sezo, y frecuentemente en términos de variables socioeconómicas tales como educación, ingreso, status de trabajo y clase ocupacional.Una gran parte del contenido de la monografía sobre factores socialee y económicos en la mortalidad serán obtenidos en los resultados disponibles del estudio del censo de certificados de muertes de 1960 llevado a cabo en la Universidad de Chicago. Una importante caracteristica de esta monografía, no contenida en el estudio de Chicago, es un análisis de regresión y correlación de la mortalidad total en 202 areas estadísticas metropolitanas en relaciór a un gran número de factores sociales, económicos y climáticos. Entre los aspecto sobresalientes en la monografía sobre fecundidad están los capítulos sobre características médicas y biológicas de nacimientos, fecundidad y planeación familiar y un análisis de las tendencias de fecundidad de las cohortes. La monografía sobre matrimonio y divorcio hará uso de tabulaciones detalladas del censo de 1960 sobre estado civil en relación a la educación, raza, linaje, ganancias y otras clasificaciones de los individuos y del marido y la esposa en parejas de casados. Contendrá tambien un estudio comparativo (matching study) de registro de divorcios en ciertos Estados para un período corto antes del censo de 1960 con el retorno en el censo. El proyecto esta apoyado por una subvención de la Publicación. del Servicio de Salud Pública de los Estados Unidos editada por la Imprenta de la Universidad de Harvard (CH 00075; formerly RG 08262).SummaryThe plan calls for monographs on 16 specific topics and a review volume. The specific topics include a monograph on fertility, another on marriage and divorce, and one on social and economic factors in mortality, all of which are of obvious demographic interest. The core of the development of the monographs dealing with the disease topics, and accidents, homicide, and suicide, is a tabulation program involving specific and age-adjusted death rates based upon the deaths in the United States for the three year period 1959-61 and the 1960 census of population. The program called for a set of standard tabulations common to each monograph and also a set of special tabulations tailored to meet the particular needs for each topic as specified by its authors. This wealth of demographic detail regarding mortality in the United States during 1959-61 fills only one aspect of its health picture. To fill out the health picture, use is being made of the great volume of morbidity data out of the National Health Interview and Examination Surveys and a wide variety of other specialized surveys. In all of these, the findings are invariably described in terms of the demographic characteristics of age and sex, and frequently in terms of such social-economic variables as education, income, work status, and occupational class.A large part of the content of the monograph on social and economic factors in mortality will come out of available results of the 1960 census-death certificate matching study at the University of Chicago. One important feature of this monograph, not contained in the Chicago study, is a regression and correlation analysis of total mortality in 202 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in relation to a large number of social, economic, and climatic factors. Among the features in the monograph on fertility are chapters on the medical and biological characteristics of births, fecundity and family planning, and an analysis of cohort fertility trends. The monograph on marriage and divorce will make use of the detailed tabulations from the 1960 census on marital status in relation to education, race, parentage, earnings and other classifications of individuals and of husband and wife in married couples. It will also contain a matching study of divorce records in certain states for a short period before the census of 1960 with the returns in the census. The project is supported by a grant from the United States Public Health Service (CH 00075; formerly RG 08262). Publication will be by the Harvard University Press.

Mortality Trends For Causes Of Death In Countries Of Low Mortality

Mortimer Spiegelman

ResumenEl estudio se refiere a los paises de la Europa occidental y a todos los países de habla inglesa. Abarca nueve causas principales de defunción, además del total dado por todas las causes, y se extiende al período comprendido entre 1950 y 1961. Las indicaciones superficialee derivadas de un examen de las tasas brutas de natalidad desde 1950 muestran que la tasa de disminución de la mortalidad desde 1950–53 a 1954–57, durante el periodo 1958–61 no se mantendró en muchos de los países estudiados.Si bien la causa principal de esta situación son las enfermedades cardiovasculares y renales, no mejoraron reduciendo la mortalidad o disminuyendo la tasa de aumento, ni la influenza ni la pneumonia. Deniro de las grandes categorias de causas de defunción—como las enfermedades cardiovasculares y renales, el cáncer y las accidentes— las condiciones o traumatismos más específicos pueden no seguir tendencies similares. Un examen más a fond de la evolución de las tasas de mortalidad por causas específicas requeriria necesariamente un estudio seguir la edad y el sexo. Normalmente, cabría esperar que la tendencia general de las condiciones o traumatismos mas eepecífico sfuera similar en los países de baja mortalidad, por cuanto se les ofrecen amplias oportunidades de conocer los avances de la ciencia y de la práctica médicas.

Mortality Trends and Prospects and Their Implications

Mortimer Spiegelman

One of the many aspects of life shared by the United States and Canada is a record of low mortality and of high longevity. In both countries the trend has been toward a general reduction in mortality rates, but the rela tive reductions have been greater for females than for males. During this cen tury the nonwhite population of the United States has also benefited from mor tality reductions. Factors which cause variability in rates of mortality include such environmental influences as place of residence, occupation, and social-eco nomic status. The effect of selective influences on death rates is evident in the trends of mortality according to marital status. To date, mortality reductions have been accomplished mainly through the control of infectious diseases; ma jor mortality problems today are the cardiovascular-renal diseases, cancer, and accidents. It is clear that progress in the field of health is intimately related to economic progress with the consequent increases in wealth and resources for ad vancing medical science and public-health programs. In the light of present knowledge, future reductions in mortality will depend largely on new advances in diagnosis and therapy and the rapidity with which they come into general use.

The Broken Family—Widowhood and Orphanhood

Mortimer Spiegelman

ALTHOUGH the family as an inA stitution has changed in many respects, we still regard it as the most practical means yet devised to care for children until they may assume their responsibilities in society. In general, the functions necessary for this purpose require a division of labor within the family, the husband to be the provider, and the wife the homemaker. Any circumstance which interferes with the performance of these functions creates problems which threaten the survival of the family as
