This doctoral thesis examines the trends and patterns of premature mortality in the
German Baltic Sea region in past and present. Based on demographic methods, it shows
that the crucial determinants have changed over the course of the epidemiologic transition.
Nutrition and sanitation were decisive factors in the 19th century, which led to significant
variations in infant mortality by social class. Today, the access to adequate health
care and risk-relevant behavior play a more important role in the region, with men
in the eastern part showing the highest rates of avoidable mortality.

Diese Dissertation untersucht die Trends und Muster vorzeitiger Sterblichkeit im deutschen
Ostseeraum in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Basierend auf demografischen Methoden zeigt
sie, dass sich die zentralen Determinanten im Laufe des epidemiologischen Übergangs
gewandelt haben. Ernährung und Hygiene waren entscheidende Faktoren im 19. Jahrhundert,
was zu signifikanten Variationen in der Säuglingssterblichkeit je nach sozialer Schicht
führte. Heute spielen der Zugang zu adäquater medizinischer Versorgung und risikorelevantes
Verhalten eine wichtigere Rolle in der Region, in welcher Männer im Osten die höchsten
Raten vermeidbarer Sterblichkeit aufweisen.
