Abstract

An analysis of the effects of the influenza epidemic that occurred in Guam in 1918 is presented. "A sample of records for 321 individuals who died during this peak epidemic period and for whom complete linked family records have been compiled was analyzed to study the effects of this mortality on subsequent fertility and population growth patterns." The results suggest that the long-term demographic effect of the epidemic on the native population was minimal.
