"The article highlights the problems of using the marital indices (Ig and I'g) developed for the European Fertility Project. The article points out that the information given by these indices is basically the same as the Total Marital Fertility Rate (all of them are calculated without considering the mean age at marriage). The author develops new indices that analyze marital fertility in combination with mean age at marriage [in Navarre, Spain]." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)
"In this article we analyze the different demographic patterns defining the population in the province of Alicante [Spain]. The behaviour of the demographic factors in the past and in the present is studied here, and a series of models are put into practice in order to foresee the future pattern of population.... The result shows either the effect of a possible ageing in an already aged population, as is the case of the province of Alicante, or what the job market would have to endure if the above mentioned ageing took place, increased by the possibility of an inmigration of an older population."

"This paper examines the decline of mortality in Vizcaya [Spain]...the first Basque province to be industrialised at the beginning of the demographic transition. Making use of both the death and municipal population registers we analyse its diverse trajectory in two differentiated economic environments: those municipalities which played an important role in the industrial process and those rural municipalities which remained on the sidelines." The author compares life expectancies, causes of death, and sanitary conditions, and discusses some social consequences of industrialization. (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)
The author discusses "the main difficulties that arise from the use of the diagnostical expressions used to report [causes of death].... From an interdisciplinary point of view, the work stresses the need to study in depth the causal explanation of mortality. It favours the creation of interpretative schemes showing the causal associations, direct or otherwise, between the determinants of good or bad health and the mortality problems as revealed in the death causes."

"This article deals with some of the historiographical issues raised by the study of the causes of death in the past. It is focused upon the medical causes of death, particularly infectious diseases.... The ways of facing the question of the causes of death in pre-industrial Europe...are examined in contrast to those ways peculiar to modern Europe. Three topics are successively dealt with, first, the process of 'medicalisation' of death; secondly, diseases as causes of death, and the nosological systems; and thirdly, the diagnosis of the causes of death." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)
"Through the application of...'parish reconstitution' differentials in demographic conducts are analysed. Those behaviours are related with marriage rate and fertility manifested in the population of Sul do Pico (Azores) during the last 3 centuries. Results show the existence of differences between 'the new' and 'the old' rural areas." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE AND SPA)
