9781333222185: An Investigation Into the Mortality Rates of the City of New York

Synopsis

This book examines mortality rates in New York City from 1899 to 1901, creating mortality tables for men and women in the city and comparing them to the English Life Table No. 3 from the mid-19th century. The book also discusses the progress that's been made in medicine and sanitation since that time. The author argues that while New York City's mortality rates have improved since the mid-19th century, there is still much that can be done to improve public health, especially in the areas of water quality and infectious diseases like typhoid fever and tuberculosis. The book provides a valuable historical perspective on mortality rates and public health in New York City, and its insights are still relevant today.
