[Sudden infant death syndrome in Austria. 2: Prevalence pattern and socio-demographic characteristics].

This paper investigates SIDS cases in the first year of life between 1980 and 1987 in Austria regarding age at death, seasonal distribution and influence of birth weight, APGAR-Score and socio-demographic risk factors. SIDS mortality is highest between the 10th and 12th week of life. The median life span of SIDS cases is 103 days. The seasonal distribution indicates an influence of acute respiratory diseases. 37% of all cases happened from October to December. Although--because of competing risks--SIDS has primary importance for infants with a birth-weight of more than 2500 g, low birth-weight is an important risk factor. Age of mother, illegitimate birth and low educational level of the mother are important socio-demographic risk factors.

["Delayed" modernization: spatial aspects of marital fertility decline in the federal provinces of Tyrol and Vorarlberg in the 1960s and 1970s].

"This study treats the decline of marital fertility in all of the 374 municipalities ('Gemeinden') of the Alpine area of western Austria (the Federal Provinces of the Tyrol and Vorarlberg). For each municipality Coale's Index of marital fertility (I(g)) is calculated for the years 1961-1971-1981. Particular attention is drawn to the geographical variation of the I(g)-values. A five-stage model is used to describe time-lag effects in the spatial fertility decline." It is found that "although there was a significant overall reduction in marital fertility of about 50%, most regional differences observed in 1961 can also be found in 1981." Economic, social, and religious factors related to these fertility trends are noted (SUMMARY IN ENG)
