“…Therefore this mortality excess could be attributed, at least in part, to pregnancyand delivery-associated complications. This finding has been reported in previous French (Bideau, 1981;Perrenoud, 1981;Gutierrez & Houdaille, 1983) or international (Hogberg & Wall, 1986;Willmott Dobbie, 1982) studies. The age specific MRs are reported on Table 1.…”

“…The excess female mortality between the third and sixth decades is plausibly in relation with birth-associated risks as evidenced in previous studies (Bideau, 1981;Gutierrez & Houdaille, 1983;Hogberg & Wall, 1986;Perrenoud, 1981;Willmott Dobbie, 1982). However, a greater sensitivity to smallpox and tuberculosis (Bideau, 1981;Willmott Dobbie, 1982) and social factors are also likely to play a role (Bideau, 1981).…”

“…However, a greater sensitivity to smallpox and tuberculosis (Bideau, 1981;Willmott Dobbie, 1982) and social factors are also likely to play a role (Bideau, 1981). The risk of maternal death was shown to increase with mother'age (Gutierrez & Houdaille, 1983;Hart, 1998). Two-thirds of these deaths occurred within the two-week postdelivery period (Gutierrez & Houdaille, 1983).…”

Objectives: We aimed to determine the public health status of an 18th century mountain locality. Methods:We collected data registered in parish death certificates from Arudy, a small village in the French Pyrenees during the period 1741-1800. Results: Two thousand and six hundred and sixty-three cases were studied. About 50% of deaths occurred during the first 10 years of life. There were some particularities in deaths pattern with regards to age categories between males and females and seasonality. A fraction of individuals died at advanced ages (24.1% ≥60 years and of note three cases ≥100 years). The cause of death was reported in only 2.2% of cases (nearly always sudden fatalities). Maternal mortality could not be precisely determined. Throughout this period we identified a series of mortality crises which targeted mostly children and were probably in relation with undocumented epidemics.Conclusions: These data offer some clues about the sanitary situation of an European mountain community during the 18th century.

“…In France, where the family reconstitution technique originated, two studies have been made on maternal mortality which indicate a rate of 2,360 per 100,000 births. Very high maternal mortality ratios (MMR) have also been noted among the ruling families of early Europe, 1,470 -1,920 per 100,000 births (22,23).…”

In conclusion, this study shows that the mother's reproductive history was the most important risk factor measured for all definitions of maternal death. Grand multiparity did not increase the risk of maternal death. Maternal mortality ratio varied threefold in the study population, depending on the definition used. The high mortality ratios found in this study, only declining by the end of the century, should be interpreted as a general condition of the society since no significant differences could be perceived regarding social class, while unmarried women were more at risk.

“…In France, especially northern France, demographic historians (Bardet et al, 1981;Biraben et al, 1988;Biraben and Lévy, 1987;Gutierrez and Houdaille, 1983;Séguy, 1998Séguy, , 1994 have explored male and female life expectancy through parish and civil registers in numerous towns and cities from the 16th and 17th centuries. Their results confirm a progressive decrease in maternal mortality combined with an increase in life expectancy after 45 years of age, especially at the end of the 18th century.…”
