Seasonality of death in the period 1889-1988 in the Val di Scalve (Bergamo Pre-Alps, Lombardia, Italy).
We present results on the seasonality of death in four communes of the Val di Scalve (Bergamo Pre-Alps, Lombardia, Italy). The seasonality is remarkable in all four localities and also in both halves of the century examined (1889-1988). In particular, the mortality peaks during the cold season.
