Abstract

The present paper shows the specific features of mortality in Vienna city in the 19th century. As a data source 5 parish registers were used. A detailed analysis of the causes of death reveals the reasons for the „epidemiological change" from the transition period of proto-industrialisation to the end of industrialisation. The mortality and their development is a useful indicator to describe changes of the urban health conditions when it is differentiated by age and cause of death. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
