Analysis of data derived from the Historical Population Database of Transylvania for the period 1850 to 1914 confirms that social classes in localities undergoing industrialization were subject to inequalities in adult mortality and that, starting in the 1880s, adults with agricultural and semiskilled occupations had a greater likelihood of living longer. Marriage had a protective effect for men, though not for women, regardless of time and place. Between 1850 and 1880, adult mortality suffered the influence of multiple environmental and epidemiological crises, whereas between 1881 and 1914, differences in longevity were attributable mainly to economic development and its associated activities. After the 1880s, the survival prospects of both men and women improved.

对特兰西瓦尼亚历史人口数据库1850年至1914年期间数据的分析证实，正在经历工业化的地区，社会阶层的成年人死亡率不平等，而且从1880年代开始，从事农业和半熟练职业的成年人的可能性更大。寿命更长。无论时间和地点如何，婚姻对男人都有保护作用，但对女人却没有。在1850年至1880年之间，成人死亡率受到多种环境和流行病学危机的影响，而在1881年至1914年之间，寿命的差异主要归因于经济发展及其相关活动。1880年代后，男女的生存前景都得到了改善。
