| description | This is a new attempt to understand the functioning of vital statistics during the nineteenth century, wich analyzes the death rate caused by cholera morbus in Mexico City during the year 1833. Although this was not the only such epidemic, it was the first, and given that it was so widespread, its impact was felt at all levels of the social, economic, and political life of the metropolis.On the basis of data estimated by numerous authors concerning the total volume of the population and various statistical and demographic methods, Velasco calculated the probable population of Mexico City in 1833 and its age and sex composition.Parish archives were the basis for estimating mortality levels. Abbreviated life tables were calculated, by sex, for 1832 and 1833, and in an effort to assess the specific weight of cholera in overall mortality, additional tables were prepared according to cause of death.From a strictly demographic viewpoint, it is observed that almost 5% of Mexico City's total population died from cholera; that the 1 200 males and females under the age of four who died from the epidemic left incomplete generations in the long term, that the disappearance of nearly 2 700 persons between the ages of 15 and 44 affected men and women of childbearing age, that when eliminating the deaths due to cholera, life expectancy at birth would have been 12.3 years higher for men and 13.95 years for women.From another perspective, it is pointed out that the health measures implemented during the epidemic brought about significant changes in the social, economic, and urban organization of the city and that, as of that time, social differentiation in the face of death was even more evident. |

En un nuevo intento por conocer el comportamiento de los hechos vitales durante el siglo XIX, en este trabajo se analiza la mortalidad ocasionada por cólera morbus enla Ciudadde México durante 1833, en el entendido de que aunque no fue la única epidemia de esta naturaleza, por ser la primera y debido a su gran propagación, dejó sentir su impacto en todos los ámbitos de la vida social, económica y política de la metrópoli.A partir de los datos estimados por numerosos autores en cuanto al volumen total de población y con base en diversos métodos estadísticos y demográficos, se calculó la población probable dela Ciudadde México en 1833 y su correspondiente distribución por sexo y edad.Los archivos parroquiales fueron la base para la estimación de los niveles de mortalidad; a partir de estos datos se calcularon tablas de vida abreviadas por sexo para 1832 y 1833, y en un esfuerzo por analizar el peso específico del cólera en la mortalidad general se construyeron tablas adicionales por causa de muerte.Desde el punto de vista estrictamente demográfico, se observa que casi 5% de la población total dela Ciudadde México murió a causa del cólera; que los 1 200 hombres y mujeres menores de cuatro años que fallecieron a consecuencia de la epidemia dejaron generaciones incompletas a largo plazo, que la desaparición de casi 2 700 individuos entre 15 y 44 años afectó a hombres y mujeres en edad reproductiva, que al suprimir las defunciones ocasionadas por cólera, la esperanza de vida al nacimiento experimenta ganancias de 12.3 años entre los hombres y de 13.95 años entre las mujeres, etcétera.Desde otro punto de vista, se hace notar el hecho de que las medidas sanitarias instrumentadas durante la epidemia trajeron consigo cambios importantes en la organización social, económica y urbana de la ciudad y que, a partir de entonces, se hizo aún más evidente la diferenciación social ante la muerte.
