到目前为止，对1860年前美国死亡率和趋势的研究还相当不系统。大多数学者一直满足于估计某个时间点的死亡率，只有少数人认真努力确定死亡率的长期趋势。特别缺乏将十七世纪和十八世纪的死亡率估计数与十九世纪的死亡率估计数联系起来的努力。此外，少数几项试图讨论美国死亡率长期趋势的研究被迫依赖于从不同来源收集的基于不同分析技术的死亡率估计。不幸的是，在比较不同类型记录的死亡率数据时，几乎没有做出任何努力来估计可能产生的偏差。
The study of mortality rates and trends in the United States before 1860 has been rather unsystematic to date. Most scholars have been content to estimate the mortality rate at some point in time and only a few serious efforts have been made to ascertain the long-term trends in mortality. Particularly lacking are efforts to relate estimates of mortality in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to those of the nineteenth century. In addition, the few studies that have attempted to discuss long-term trends in American mortality have been forced to rely on estimates of mortality gathered from different sources and based on different techniques of analysis. Unfortunately, almost no efforts have been made to estimate possible biases introduced when comparing mortality data from different types of records.
