Description

The article analyses factors associated with mortality in the elderly during three five-year periods of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the area of the St Peter parish, also known as Šempeter Suburbs in Ljubljana. It presents physicians’ approach towards elderly patients, as well as the status of public hygiene in the city and the particularities of the area under discussion. The records of city and provincial physicians Fran Viljem Lipič, Viljem Kovač, Friedrich Keesbacher, and Franc Zupanc linked the issue of the city hygienization or, more specifically, the establishment of drinking water supply system, sewage disposal, and appropriate housing conditions to a declining morbidity rate and increasing life expectancy of the population.

      • V prispevku je prikazana analiza vzrokov smrti umrlih starostnikov v treh petletnih obdobjih 19. in v začetku 20. stoletja na območju župnije sv. Peter oziroma v Šempetrskem predmestju v Ljubljani. Predstavljeni so tako zdravniški pogledi na starejše bolnike kot higienske razmere v mestu in posebnosti obravnavanega predmestja. Zapisi mestnih in deželnih zdravnikov Frana Viljema Lipiča, Viljema Kovača, Friedricha Keesbacherja in Franca Zupanca problematiko higienizacije mesta oziroma preskrbo z neoporečno pitno vodo, odvajanje fekalij in ustrezne stanovanjske razmere povezujejo z manjšim obolevanjem ljudi in njihovo dolgoživostjo.
