1945年的荷兰饥荒冬季是工业化人口大规模饥荒的一个独特的有据可查的例子，在此期间，大多数受辐射母亲的总生殖损失（胎儿和婴儿死亡率）仍然相对较低。这是因为胎儿死亡率高，婴儿死亡率低。作者将低胎儿死亡率的模式追溯到饥荒母亲的“身体健康状况”的较高水平。饥荒地区的婴儿死亡率很高，这证明粮食和燃料短缺的严重性，而另一个因素降低了死胎率。这另一个因素，有人认为，有一个社会经济的特点，这是内在的'体现'的营养状况的区域人口，产生于有利的机会，增长和发展之间的连续几代的母亲。这种解释强调了母性活力的重要性（一种综合的、历史上可变的和文化决定的现象），这是历史人口统计学中一个被忽视的特征。
During the Dutch Hunger Winter (1945), a unique, documented example of mass famine in an industrialized population, total reproductive loss (fetal and infant mortality) among most exposed mothers remained relatively low. This is explained by highly favourable fetal mortality and unfavourable infant mortality. The author traces the pattern of low fetal mortality to the higher levels of ‘embodied health status’ of famine mothers. The high infant mortality of the famine area testifies to the severity of the food and fuel shortage, yet another factor held down the rate of stillbirth. This other factor, it is argued, has a socio-economic character, it is the intrinsic ‘embodied’ nutritional status of the regional population, arising from favourable opportunities for growth and development among successive generations of mothers. This explanation highlights the importance of maternal vitality, (a synthetic, historically variable and culturally determined phenomenon) as a neglected feature of historical demography.
