A study by the University of Turku and the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology found that grandmothers played a significant role in preventing childhood mortality from infectious diseases in 18th and 19th century Finland. The research showed that grandmothers decreased all-cause and cause-specific mortality of children, particularly from smallpox, pulmonary and diarrheal infections. However, the study found no evidence of increased or earlier vaccination between children with or without grandmothers. The researchers suggest that the assistance provided by grandmothers in childcare was likely an important factor in ensuring the survival of children in historical Finnish society.
