GEOGRAPHICAL DIFFERENCES IN CAUSES OF DEATH
For their article “Spatial disparities at death. Age-, sex- and disease-specific mortality in the districts of Belgium at the beginning of the twentieth century”, Tina Van Rossem, Patrick Deboosere and Isabelle Devos used the HISSTER database. They reconstructed the age-, sex- and disease-specific mortality rates for the 41 districts of Belgian for the year 1910. Based on the data collected in the HISSTER database, they created maps that reveal the regional variations in mortality rates.
