本研究探讨婴儿死亡率的危险因素，使用个人层面的数据，从样本的教区在北方瑞典在十九世纪。瑞典尤其令人感兴趣，因为该国婴儿死亡率在世纪期间呈异常规律的下降趋势。我们跟踪一个样本的妇女纵向通过其连续怀孕，并观察每个孩子的死亡率的经验。探索性和多变量逻辑回归分析揭示了一个重要的家庭内部层面的婴儿死亡率，出现在早期阶段的妇女的生殖生涯。此外，出生顺序组的多变量分析表明，忽略婴儿死亡率的家庭内相关性可能会导致不正确的推论。西里西亚的婴儿死亡概率共享表明，高出生顺序的儿童不一定以任何系统的方式处于不利地位。
This study examines risk factors for infant mortality using individual-level data from a sample of parishes in northern Sweden in the nineteenth century. Sweden is of particular interest because of its unusually regular pattern of infant mortality decline during the century. We follow a sample of women longitudinally through their successive pregnancies and observe the mortality experience of each child. Exploratory and multivariate logistic regression analyses reveal an important intra-familial dimension to infant mortality that appears from the early stages of a woman's reproductive career. In addition, multivariate analyses by birth-order group suggest that ignoring intra-familial correlations of infant mortality may result in incorrect inferences. Siblings' shared probabilities of dying as infants suggest that high-birth-order children were not necessarily disadvantaged in any systematic way.
