[Sanitary survey about the infantile mortality in the first year of life in Vittoria commune during the 1967-1976 (author's transl)].
In Italy and we would almost say all over the world, the infantile mortality is getting more and more reduced: from 228, 7% in 1863 to 27% in 1972 and especially in the last period of thirty years, the mortality after the first week of life is reduced. All this is given by the improvement of the hygienical sanitary and charitable states of people. Where these improvements haven't been remarkable, the reduction of infantile mortality has been more moderate as in Middle and South Italy, where population have a lower social-economic level in respect of Nord Italy's population. After having studied this problem in the effective reality of our zone (Comiso 1977), now we want to consider and to study it in Vittoria.
