Special attention is also paid to the interrelatedness of the various factors, and for this reason these are …

  • The Effect of Divorce on Infant Mortality in a Remote Area of Bangladesh

    Open AccessNurul Alam, Sajal Saha et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2001

    The process of divorce is usually lengthy and hazardous, and can start quarrels that can lead to the abuse of women and their children. This study examines the effects of divorce on neonatal and postneonatal mortality of babies born before and after divorce in Teknaf, a remote area of Bangladesh. The longitudinal demographic surveillance system (DSS) followed 1762 Muslim marriages in 1982–83 for 5 years to record divorce, deaths of spouse, emigra…

    Open AccessOmondi-Odhiambo Omondi-Odhiambo, Jeroen K Van Ginneken et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1990

    This paper examines mortality by cause of death in a rural area of Machakos district in Kenya. The cause-of-death data collected between 1975 and 1978 were likely to be of fairly good quality. The number of deaths was higher among infants and children. Infectious diseases and diseases of the respiratory system were the leading causes of death among children below 5 years of age. Next in prominence were the causes ascribed to congenital anomalies …

  • Demographic characteristics of a rural area in Kenya in 1974–80

    Open AccessJeroen K Van Ginneken, A S Muller et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1984

    A longitudinal, epidemiological study was carried out in a rural area of Kenya with a population of about 28,000 between 1974 and 1980. Population registration during this time showed that population growth was very high between 1974 and 1978 (4·4% per year) and much lower in 1979 and 1980 (1·1%). Natural increase was nearly as high as in Kenya as a whole (3·7%) in this period. Fertility was somewhat lower than in all Kenya (the crude birth rate …

  • Analysis of demographic data collected in a rural area of Kenya

    Open AccessH A W Van Vianen, Jeroen K Van GinnekenARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1984

    In the area studied in the Machakos Project the total fertility estimate amounts to 7·46, which is somewhat lower than reported in the preceding article (van Ginneken et al. , 1984). Evidence is provided that the low observed infant mortality rate of 49 per 1000 live births is plausible; this rate is in accordance with the relatively low and rapidly declining infant mortality rates found in Kenya. No accurate estimate on adult mortality could be …

  • The chance of conception during lactation

    Open AccessJeroen K Van GinnekenARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1977

    Many mothers in low-income countries, particularly in rural areas, nurse their children for 1–2 years on the average. The main purpose of this practice is, of course, to provide the newborn child with the nutrition necessary for its survival. Prolonged breast-feeding, however, also has a birth-spacing effect and postpones the next pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation and by delaying resumption of the menstrual cycle. Suckling of the infant is import…
