“…To a certain extent, it is true that the consumption patterns of commoners in pre-industrial economies shared some characteristics as a result of the worldwide low levels of income. In early 20 th -century Spain, significant differences in diets still existed not only between regions but also within regions or even provinces, especially in terms of the consumption of some vegetables and, in particular, animal proteins (Nicolau and Pujol 2006). Inevitably, they are underestimated if a basic universal, basket of consumption is designed in isolation.…”

This paper attempts to establish a debate between alternative views of living standards in Spanish America during the viceregal period. Since 2009, a growing literature has shared a «common language» based on a similar, though not identical, methodology. As never before, this «new generation» of studies is built upon long series of quantitative data and international comparisons of nominal wages and prices which, in some cases, cover the *

“…Previous research also shows that milk consumption became widespread first among children and young people (Cussó and Garrabou, 2004;Nicolau et al, 2010;Muñoz Pradas, 2016;Nicolau et al, 2010), and that differences according to income in this group were substantial (Carrasco Cadenas, 1934). Finally, other studies have shown that the increase in the availability of milk in those years chiefly affected the stockbreeding northern areas and some big cities (Langreo, 1995;Domínguez Martín, 1996, 2001Hernández and Pujol-Andreu, 2016), and that milk relative prices in the north were lower (Nicolau and Pujol-Andreu, 2006). Consumer groups, therefore, could only grow in those areas and cities, and it was the growing consumption among these groups which made the total consumption levels go up.…”

a b s t r a c tThis article analyses the diffusion of milk consumption in Spain between 1865 and 1980, and uses a new statistical approach to estimate consumer groups and their milk consumption. This new methodology shows that these variables increased at different speeds chronologically and geographically. Two main phases can be distinguished in terms of the diffusion of milk consumption. The first phase, between the mid-19th century and the 1950s, was characterised by concentrated consumption in producer regions and big cities and the persistence of stark differences between regions. The second, between the 1950s and the 1980s, was chiefly characterised by an increase in the total number of consumers and the disappearance of these regional differences. Nueva estrategia estadística para evaluar la difusión de la leche en la población española: poblaciones consumidoras y consumo de leche, 1865-1981Códigos JEL: N34 N54 N94Palabras clave: Consumo de leche Transición nutricional España Diferencias regionales r e s u m e n En este artículo, analizamos la difusión del consumo de leche en España entre , tomando en consideración una nueva aproximación estadística para estimar las poblaciones y el consumo de leche en estos colectivos. Con la nueva metodología, mostramos que estas variables aumentaron con diferente intensidad, a lo largo del tiempo y a escala regional. Esta circunstancia nos permite distinguir dos grandes etapas en la difusión de la leche en la dieta. En la primera, hasta los años 1950, destacaría, sobre todo, el aumento del consumo en las poblaciones consumidoras y las grandes ciudades, y la pervivencia de elevados niveles de desigualdad a escala regional. En la segunda, hasta los años 1980, destacaría el aumento del número de consumidores, y la desaparición de aquellas desigualdades.

“…Northern robustness was most likely associated with a better provision and/or easier access to high protein and caloric foodstuffs such as meat and milk. For instance, in 1910–1912, the area of robust regions very much coincided with cheaper meat and dairy products among the Spanish provinces (Nicolau & Pujol, ). These authors concluded that these patterns were indicative of actual consumption and that northern provinces generally had easier access to high protein and caloric foodstuffs than inner and southern provinces.…”

Anthropometrics have been widely used to study the influence of environmental factors on health and nutritional status. In contrast, anthropometric geography has not often been employed to approximate the dynamics of spatial disparities associated with socioeconomic and demographic changes. Spain exhibited intense disparity and change during the middle decades of the 20th century, with the result that the life courses of the corresponding cohorts were associated with diverse environmental conditions. This was also true of the Spanish territories. This paper presents insights concerning the relationship between socioeconomic changes and living conditions by combining the analysis of cohort trends and the anthropometric cartography of height and physical build. This analysis is conducted for Spanish male cohorts born 1934–1973 that were recorded in the Spanish military statistics. This information is interpreted in light of region-level data on GDP and infant mortality. Our results show an anthropometric convergence across regions that, nevertheless, did not substantially modify the spatial patterns of robustness, featuring primarily robust northeastern regions and weak Central-Southern regions. These patterns persisted until the 1990s (cohorts born during the 1970s). For the most part, anthropometric disparities were associated with socioeconomic disparities, although the former lessened over time to a greater extent than the latter. Interestingly, the various anthropometric indicators utilized here do not point to the same conclusions. Some discrepancies between height and robustness patterns have been found that moderate the statements from the analysis of cohort height alone regarding the level and evolution of living conditions across Spanish regions.
