Previous research suggests individual-level socioeconomic circumstances and resources may be especially salient influences on mortality within the broader context of social, economic, and environmental factors affecting urban 19th century mortality.
We sought to test individual-level socioeconomic effects on mortality from infectious and often epidemic diseases in the context of an emerging New England industrial mill town.
We analyze mortality data from comprehensive death records and a sample of death records linked to census data, for an emergent industrial New England town, to analyze infectious mortality and model socioeconomic effects using Poisson rate regression.
Despite our expectations that individual resources might be especially salient in the harsh mortality setting of a crowded, rapidly growing, emergent, industrial mill town with high levels of impoverishment, infectious mortality was not significantly lowered by individual socio-economic status or resources.
先前的研究表明,在影响19世纪城市死亡率的社会、经济和环境因素的更广泛背景下,个人层面的社会经济状况和资源可能对死亡率有特别显著的影响。
我们试图在一个新兴的新英格兰工业城镇的背景下,检验个人层面的社会经济因素对传染病(通常是流行病)死亡率的影响。
我们分析了一个新兴的新英格兰工业城镇的综合死亡记录以及与人口普查数据相关联的死亡记录样本中的死亡率数据,以分析传染病死亡率,并使用泊松率回归模型分析社会经济影响。
尽管我们预期在一个拥挤、快速发展、新兴的、贫困程度高的工业城镇这种严峻的死亡环境中,个人资源可能会特别显著,但个人社会经济地位或资源并没有显著降低传染病死亡率。
