Abstract Relying on longitudinal microdata from a Spanish rural region between 1750 and 1950 (almost 35,000 life courses), this article provides evidence that discriminatory practices affected sex‐specific mortality during infancy childhood. Although it is likely families also discriminated against girls the first year of life, female excess was especially visible in 1–5 age group.

Abstract Relying on longitudinal micro data from rural Spain between 1750 and 1950, this article evidences that families mortally neglected a significant fraction of their female babies. Firstly, baptism records exhibited exceptionally high sex ratios at birth until the late nineteenth century. Secondly, having no previous male siblings increased probability baptisms. Likewise, same feature, together with number alive, also mortality during first day life. These findings are concentrated...

An event-history analysis of ten rural villages in Spain from 1750 to 1949 indicates that the likelihood parents having additional children was influenced by number their surviving and children’s sex composition. Parents whose had a low survival rate more than generally survived. Exclusively daughters during pre-transitional period also reflected, limited degree, new conception. The results suggest some families adapted reproductive behavior desired objectives. In period, as well transition...
Numerous studies have demonstrated the negative impact of severe economic shocks (such as those associated with wars) on growth children and adolescents. Individuals exposed to these during their developmental years exhibited shorter average heights compared both previous subsequent generations. Anthropometric research has highlighted sensitivity height variable in understanding biological well-being However, little attention been paid evolution other anthropometric variables. This study...
Several studies have shown the importance of mother in survival and wellbeing her children. However, none them analyzed rural areas Iberian Peninsula. In this article we use life courses more than 10 thousand children born between 1750 1959 to understand effects being motherless on survival, educative outputs, wellbeing. To achieve this, descriptive statistics as well Cox OLS regression models. Our results confirm that is one most important relative for young

Not only sex ratio baptism was extremely unbalanced, but discrimination continued throughout childhood resulted excess mortality, despite males are biologically more vulnerable. Although their high mortality rates question...
Clinical practice guidelines are intended to serve as a bridge between the decision levels and sources of knowledge, giving makers best synthesis scientific evidence an analysis context, provide elements judgement transfer knowledge into clinical practice.
