| Abstract | Beginning in the mid-seventeenth century, infant mortality in Veneto (a region in northeastern Italy) began to increase, starting at 250‰ and rising to 350‰ by the mid-nineteenth century—one of the highest levels ever recorded in modern Europe. This dramatic change—in a period of worsening economic conditions—was due to variations in winter neonatal mortality, which was 3–4 times higher in Veneto than in other areas with similar winter temperatures (such as England). We combine micro-data on neonatal mortality with daily data on temperatures for a specific context during the period of 1816–1868 characterized by very high neonatal mortality. We find that the risk of death was particularly intense during the first week of life and strongly correlated with external minimum temperature. Through a comparison of these results with other findings in the literature, we suggest that the increase in winter neonatal mortality in Veneto could have principally been caused by the deteriorating physical condition of mothers, lessening the ‘quality’ of infants who consequently were quite susceptible to cold temperatures.À partir du milieu du 17e siècle, la mortalité infantile à Veneto (région au Nord-Est de l’Italie) a augmenté, passant de 250 ‰ à 350 ‰ au milieu du 19e siècle, l’un des niveaux les plus élevés jamais enregistrés dans l’Europe moderne. Cette évolution dramatique – dans une période de dégradation du contexte économique – était dûe aux fluctuations de la mortalité néonatale pendant l’hiver, mortalité qui était à Veneto 3 à 4 fois supérieure à celle d’autres régions ayant des températures hivernales similaires (telles que l’Angleterre). Dans cette analyse, nous avons combiné des microdonnées sur la mortalité néonatale avec les températures quotidiennes relevées dans un contexte régional spécifique au cours de la période 1816–1868, caractérisée par une mortalité néonatale très élevée. Il apparaît que le risque de décès a été particulièrement élevé pendant la première semaine de vie et fortement corrélé avec la température extérieure minimale. A partir d’une comparaison de ces résultats avec d’autres retrouvés dans la littérature, nous émettons l’hypothèse que l’augmentation de la mortalité néonatale en hiver à Veneto était principalement causée par une dégradation de la condition physique des mères, diminuant la « qualité » des enfants et les rendant par conséquent plus sensibles aux basses températures. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
