This chapter examines the evolution of biological well-being in Argentina from 1850 to 1950 using six datasets with over 156,000 observations. The study reveals stagnation in stature during 1857–1883, followed by slow growth during the period 1880–1910, and persistent and more robust stature growth between 1910 and 1940. Data shows persistent inequalities linked to occupation, literacy, and region. Moreover, the analysis challenges the notion of “Peronist well-being,” as stature showed an absolute fall during 1938–1946 in the Buenos Aires industrial belt, and malnutrition rates ceased to fall in the 1940s. In sum, the study offers a statistical foundation for a long-term history of biological welfare in Argentina.

摘要

This chapter examines the evolution of biological well-being in Argentina from 1850 to 1950 using six datasets with over 156,000 observations. The study reveals stagnation in stature during 1857–1883, followed by slow growth during the period 1880–1910, and persistent and more robust stature growth between 1910 and 1940. Data shows persistent inequalities linked to occupation, literacy, and region. Moreover, the analysis challenges the notion of “Peronist well-being,” as stature showed an absolute fall during 1938–1946 in the Buenos Aires industrial belt, and malnutrition rates ceased to fall in the 1940s. In sum, the study offers a statistical foundation for a long-term history of biological welfare in Argentina.
