Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the crucial issue of mortality rates at older ages, a subject that gained significant attention in the early 20th century. The author, a statistician for a major insurance company, examines the alarming trend of rising death rates among middle-aged adults, a stark contrast to the improvements seen in younger age groups. The book delves into the factors contributing to this troubling trend, including the lasting effects of childhood diseases, the impact of unhealthy habits like alcohol consumption and venereal disease, and the profound consequences of industrialization and occupational hazards. The book meticulously analyzes the changing nature of work in the early 20th century, highlighting how the specialization of industries and the rapid pace of factory production create new stressors on workers' bodies and minds. The author argues that the conditions of industrial labor play a significant role in the development of chronic diseases that ultimately lead to premature death. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the anxieties and concerns surrounding health and mortality in the early 20th century. It provides valuable insights into the social, environmental, and occupational factors that influenced public health, shaping our understanding of the relationship between human bodies and the industrial world.
