Age at menarche and postmenarcheal growth in rural Bangladeshi females
This study examines the role of chronological age and time since menarche (TSM) as determinants of postmenarcheal growth in height and weight in a chronically malnourished population of rural Bangladeshi females aged 10-20 years. Height and weight measurements were collected for 12 months from 290 postmenarcheal girls, with known times since menarche, and on 118 girls who reached menarche during the one year follow-up. Two stage regression analys…
Birth-interval dynamics in rural Bangladesh and maternal weight
This article reports on the results of a study conducted in rural Bangladesh on the influence of maternal weight on the components of birth intervals, including gestation and intrauterine mortality, the duration of postpartum amenorrhea, and the duration of waiting time to conception (the menstrual interval). When biological factors (in-cluding maternal age, parity, and supplementation practices) and behavioral variables, including religion, educ…
Birth-interval Dynamics in Rural Bangladesh and Maternal Weight
Changes in maternal nutritional status in a chronically malnourished population in rural Bangladesh
This paper presents a descriptive analysis of maternal anthropometry in Bangladesh. Rural Bangladeshi women (aged 15–49) were found to have a mean height of 147.8 cm, mean weight of 40.8 kg with SD of 4.9 and arm circumference of 21.8 cm. Their mean weight was much lower than the weight for height standard and was negatively related to their ages. The prevalence of low hematocrit levels in this population was high (mean 34%). Nearly one tenth of …
The Effects of Breastfeeding and Nutrition on Fecundability in Rural Bangladesh
Data taken from the ‘Determinants of Natural Fertility’ study, Bangladesh, are used with multivariate hazard models to study variations in fecundability between women, especially the relationship between nutritional status, breastfeeding practices, and the monthly probability of conceiving. It is found that fecundability varies both between women of a given age and, for a particular woman, by age. The variation is related to four variables: separ…
Infant mortality in relation to internal migration in rural Bangladesh
In Matlab thana, a rural area of Bangladesh, there is a substantial deficit of males of reproductive age owing to urban migration of males who leave their families behind. These men nevertheless return to visit their families frequently. Thirty percent of the births in this area occur to families with migrant fathers: neonatal mortality rates in these families are nearly double those of families with non-migrant fathers. This high risk, in turn, …
Nutritional status and age at secondary sterility in rural Bangladesh
In a prospective study of 2324 women in Matlab, Bangladesh, the occurrence of primary and secondary sterility by age groups was examined. The results were related to the nutritional status of the women, as assessed by measurements of height, weight, arm circumference and ponderal index. There is evidence that nutritional status is an important factor in estimated age at sterility, with thinner women experiencing a slightly earlier menopause.
Intra-uterine Mortality and Maternal Nutritional Status in Rural Bangladesh
This paper is an investigation of the relationship of a maternal nutritional status with intra-uterine mortality in a population of chronically malnourished rural Bangladeshi women. First, life-table techniques are used to compare the level of intra-uterine mortality in this population with levels reported in other studies. Then the relationships of maternal nutritional status, age, parity, foetal loss and season of conception with intra-uterine …
Application of a marriage model in rural Bangladesh
The applicability of the Coale-McNeil marriage entry model to a Bangladesh population is examined. The distribution of ages at entry into the marriage market is taken as normal and the general waiting times to marriage as negative exponential. This article examines two types of data from Bangladesh: (1) the distributions of ages at entry to the marriage market and waiting times, to verify the basic assumptions of the model, and (2) cross-sectiona…
Anthropometric assessment of energy-protein malnutrition and subsequent risk of mortality among preschool aged children
Lactation and fertility in Rural Bangladesh
Analysis of data from various phases of a study of post-partum amenorrhoea in Bangladesh illustrated good aggregate consistency of response on menstrual status, but less individual consistency on duration of post-partum amenorrhoea. Using life table techniques, the median duration of amenorrhoea was calculated as 19.9 months for women with births between February and September 1974. There were substantial seasonal variations in duration, with the…
Fertility and socio-economic status in Rural Bangladesh
Socio-economic differentials in fertility are examined by using data collected from a daily registration system covering over 100,000 persons in rural Bangladesh during the period 1968 to 1970. The findings indicate that fertility was generally higher among women in the higher than in the lower socio-economic groups. Several factors associated with high socio-economic status and their relation with the intermediate variables are discussed as prov…
Seasonal dimensions of energy protein malnutrition in rural bangladesh
The influence of seasonal variations in agriculutral practices, dietary intakes and illness on the nutritional status of preschool children was examined in this longitudinal study of approximately 200 woman‐child pairs in rural Bangladesh. The seasonal nature of cropping patterns was associated with varying levels of rice prices, agriculture wage rates, and household food stocks. Rice prices were highest, household food stocks lowest and agricult…
Nutrition and post-partum amenorrhoea in Rural Bangladesh
A cross-sectional survey of 2048 breastfeeding women in rural Bangladesh was conducted in 1975 to explore factors affecting the duration of post-partum amenorrhoea. Information on menstrual status, infant supplementation, socio-economic status and anthropometric measurements was collected for lactating women with infants 13–21 months of age. The median length of amenorrhoea was observed to be over 18 months. There was a higher probability of bein…
Malnutrition, Menarche, and Marriage in Rural Bangladesh
A survey of 1, 155 girls aged 10 through 20 was conducted in a rural area of Bangladesh in March, 1976, to assess the impact of nutritional status on the onset of menarche and the association between age at menarche and age at marriage. In recent years there has been an increased age at onset of menarche which appears to have been associated with malnutrition caused by war, postwar inflation, floods, and famine in the period 1971–76. Body weight …
The effect of child mortality experience on subsequent fertility
This paper presents an empirical analysis of the effects, behavioural and biological, of child mortality experience on subsequent fertility in two South Asian Islamic nations. Data for the investigation came from retrospective pregnancy histories of 2,910 currently married women interviewed in the Pakistan National Impact Survey (1968-69) and from longitudinal vital registration data (1966-2070) of 5,236 women residing in a rural area of Banglade…
Neo-natal and post-neo-natal mortality in a rural area of Bangladesh
An analysis of neo-natal and post-neo-natal mortality in 132 villages (population of 117,000) of Matlab thana indicates the following: (i) Neo-natal deaths accounted for 60% of the infant mortality rate of 125. This proportion was unexpectedly high since previous research had maintained that in countries with infant mortality rates over 100, neo-natal deaths account for less than one-third of all infant deaths. Since the present findings on the p…
