Popis:	A new method that does not rely on standard social class categorizations is proposed for measuring and comparing the concentration of mortality risk among families in different populations. The new measures can be obtained directly from aggregated data. These measures are used to explore the extent of death-clustering in families, and to show that inter-woman variability in risk is more important than inter-birth variability. Parity is a potential confounder of measures of death-clustering, since it contributes to an observable increase in risk; classification by parity provides a convenient way of measuring the over-dispersion of the distribution of deaths between women.
