"Since the 1870s, life expectancies began to rise in the Netherlands primarily due to a decrease in mortality \r\nfrom infectious diseases. Contributing factors behind this decrease are improvements in hygiene, nutrition, \r\nand public health policies. This research investigates to what extent this trend of a decrease in infectious \r\ndiseases caused regional divergence or convergence between 20 municipalities in the Netherlands from \r\n1890 to 1920. Period life tables were created to calculate the life expectancy at birth for each municipality \r\nand the Netherlands. The findings indicate convergence among the 20 municipalities between 1890 and \r\n1920. Divergence likely already occurred between 1870-1890. Wider geographical areas do not explain \r\ndifferences between municipalities as the local economy and social history are important in determining \r\nlife expectancy. The cases of the outliers ‘s Hertogenbosch and Tilburg are explicitly reviewed. The \r\nmunicipalities are placed in four trajectories, each reflecting different phases of the epidemiological \r\ntransition model. The population size and growth rate of the municipalities may have determined life \r\nexpectancy to some extent. The direction and size of the impact of infectious diseases on the difference in \r\nlife expectancy differ among municipalities, with an overall decline in their influence between 1890 and \r\n1920. Standardizing the mortality rate to the national average results in more absolute differences between \r\nmunicipalities, yet a trend of convergence is still observed from 1890 to 1920. Further research should test \r\nwhich characteristics of municipalities influenced the life expectancy at birth, and perform a more zoomed-in approach."^^ . "2024" . . . . . . . "Lisa"^^ . "Bos"^^ .
