Abstract

Combine data from parish records and formal demographic methods, we studied the historical changes in the mortality and morbidity profiles of the free and enslaved population living in the parish of Madre de Deus in Porto Alegre/Brazil, during the 18th and 19th centuries (1772-1872). This is a period that we saw many mortality crises, high mortality rates and various epidemics that affected the parish. Our findings indicated considerable differences in terms of death records coverage between the two compared groups, with the level of mortality coverage varying depending on the analyzed period. Men slave in general presented better death counts registers if compared to women with the same legal status. In terms of mortality levels, during this period, the life expectancy of slave population was 5.8-6.4 years lower if compared to non-slave groups.
