Resumen
La sociedad salteña, a principios del siglo XX, se caracterizaba por importantes desigualdades de tipo social, que a su vez cristalizaban en problemas en el ámbito de la salud y la educación. Con tasas de mortalidad general e infantil muy altas, ocasionadas por el impacto de dolencias endémicas y epidémicas, la población debía lidiar con graves problemas de salud. No obstante, en 1919 esa situación se agravó, a las epidemias y endemias se sumó la segunda oleada de la pandemia de ?gripe española? generando una crisis de mortalidad. En este artículo se pretende analizar el papel que habría tenido la segunda oleada de gripe española en la provincia y en los Departamentos de la misma que habría generado esta crisis. Para ello se realiza un análisis de carácter cuantitativo con base a datos provistos por la Dirección de Estadísticas de la Provincia de Salta (Argentina), con los cuales se generarán tasas de mortalidad y sobremortalidad que se relacionarán con datos provistos por el censo de población de 1914 proyectados, este análisis será relacionado con datos cualitativos que provee el único periódico de la época encontrado.
In the early twentieth century, Salta’s society was characterized by significant social inequalities that were also expressed in the field of health and education. With high overall mortality and infant mortality rates due to the impact of endemic and epidemic diseases, the population had to deal with serious health problems. In 1919, the situation worsened: in addition to epidemics and endemic diseases, the second wave of the “Spanish flu” appeared, resulting in a mortality crisis. The article aims to analyze the role that the second wave of the Spanish flu could have played in Salta and its departments’ crisis. In order to do this, an analysis based on quantitative data provided by the Bureau of Statistics of the Province of Salta will carry out. The statistical data will be used to generate mortality rates and excess mortality that will be related with projected data based on the 1914 Census. This data will also be related with the qualitative information obtained from the only newspaper found from that historical period.
