title: [Adult mortality and orphanhood in the past:  five Latin American cases].
abstract: "This paper describes the historical evolution of five populations and analyzes the circumstances under which data on maternal and paternal orphanhood of couples at the moment of marriage were collected and compiled."  The data, which concern historical populations in Mexico, Chile, Peru, Brazil, and Argentina, are used to construct life tables for male and female adults.  Consideration is given to mortality differentials by sex.  (summary in ENG)
