  • Sociodemographic trends associated with caesarean delivery in rural subdistricts of Bangladesh

    Open AccessAnisur Rahman, Kimberly Clair et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    INTRODUCTION: Although an appropriate population range for caesarean section (CS) has been debated, the WHO recommends national CS rates be between 10% and 15%. Yet rates are much higher in many low-income and middle-income countries, including Bangladesh. These studies also reveal wide disparities in CS use by geographic location and sociodemographic conditions. Nevertheless, few studies have the sample size and temporal precision necessary to m…

  • Migration, Gender, and Families

    Open AccessHeidi West, Angubeen Khan et al.ARTICLEDemography2024Referencias: 72

    Labor migration has a profound effect on families, but evidence documenting the impact of migration on women left behind is still lacking. Utilizing the Matlab Health and Socioeconomic Surveys, we examined the roles of migration and families in four domains of empowerment for women in Bangladesh. We found that women with international migrant spouses saw significant improvements in economic empowerment, mobility, and decision-making relative to w…

  • Socio-demographic, health and institutional determinants of caesarean section among the poorest segment of the urban population

    Open AccessMohammad Nahid Mia, Mohammad Zahirul Islam et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2019

    Caesarean sections (CS) is the most common lifesaving surgeries for obstructed labour and other emergency obstetrical conditions. The WHO had recommended ideal rate for CS to be between 5% and 15%. The rate higher than 15% indicates overused other than lifesaving. Bangladesh has experienced a dramatic increase in CS delivery from 4% in 2004 to 23% in 2014. This increase is elevated by the several factors including maternal education, maternal req…

  • Prevalence and determinants of pre-hypertension and hypertension among the adults in rural Bangladesh

    Open AccessMasuma Akter Khanam, Wietze Lindeboom et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Approximately one third and one-sixth of the adult population of rural Bangladesh are affected with pre-hypertension and hypertension, respectively. This poses a great challenge ahead, as most of the people with pre-hypertension will progress towards hypertension until otherwise undergo in any pharmacological or lifestyle intervention

  • Selection Bias in the Link Between Child Wantedness and Child Survival

    Open AccessDavid Bishai, Abdur Razzaque et al.ARTICLEDemography2015Citada por: 4Referencias: 29

    We examine the potential effects of selection bias on the association between unwanted births and child mortality from 7,942 women from Matlab, Bangladesh who declared birth intentions in 1990 prior to conceiving pregnancies. We explore and test two opposing reasons for bias in the distribution of observed births. First, some women who report not wanting more children could face starvation or frailty; and if these women are infecund, the remainin…

  • Pregnancy Termination in Matlab, Bangladesh

    Mizanur Rahman, Md Mizanur Rahman et al.ARTICLEInternational Perspectives on…2014

    CONTEXT: In Bangladesh, both menstrual regulation (MR), which is thought to be a relatively safe method, and abortion, which in this setting is often performed using unsafe methods, are used to terminate pregnancies (known or suspected). However, little is known about changes over time in the use of these methods or their relative mortality risks. METHODS: Data from the Demographic Surveillance System in Matlab, Bangladesh, on 110,152 pregnancy o…

  • Effect of Maternal Mortality on Survival of Under-Five Children

    Abdur Razzaque, Md Yeamin Hossain et al.ARTICLEAsian Population Studies2013Citada por: 1Referencias: 2

    With regards to children who are born shortly before their mother's death (index), the cumulative proportion of survival up to 60 months of age was significantly lower (0.39 vs. 0.81) than those born just before the last child (penultimate) of the same mother. Such a difference is mainly due to high mortality in the first six months of age. Over the period between 1974 and 2005, survival improved among the penultimate but not the index children. …

  • Influences on Pregnancy-Termination Decisions in Matlab, Bangladesh

  • The Role of Pregnancy Outcomes in the Maternal Mortality Rates of Two Areas in Matlab, Bangladesh

    Mizanur Rahman, Md Mizanur Rahman et al.ARTICLEInternational Perspectives on…2010

    CONTEXT: The Matlab Maternal Child Health-Family Planning (MCH-FP) project provides maternity care as part of its reproductive health services. It is important to assess whether this project has reduced maternal mortality and, if so, whether this was due to differences between the MCH-FP area (which received project services) and the comparison area (which did not) in pregnancy rates, pregnancy outcomes or case-fatality rates. METHODS: Data from …

  • Health inequalities among older men and women in Africa and Asia

    Open AccessNawi Ng, Paul Kowal et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2010

    BACKGROUND: Declining rates of fertility and mortality are driving demographic transition in all regions of the world, leading to global population ageing and consequently changing patterns of global morbidity and mortality. Understanding sex-related health differences, recognising groups at risk of poor health and identifying determinants of poor health are therefore very important for both improving health trajectories and planning for the heal…

  • Socio-demographic differentials of adult health indicators in Matlab, Bangladesh

    Open AccessAbdur Razzaque, Lutfun Nahar et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2010

    BACKGROUND: Mortality has been declining in Bangladesh since the mid- twentieth century, while fertility has been declining since the late 1970s, and the country is now passing through the third stage of demographic transition. This type of demographic transition has produced a huge youthful population with a growing number of older people. For assessing health among older people, this study examines self-rated health, health state, quality of li…

  • Ageing and adult health status in eight lower-income countries

    Open AccessPaul Kowal, Kathleen Kahn et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2010

    BACKGROUND: Globally, ageing impacts all countries, with a majority of older persons residing in lower- and middle-income countries now and into the future. An understanding of the health and well-being of these ageing populations is important for policy and planning; however, research on ageing and adult health that informs policy predominantly comes from higher-income countries. A collaboration between the WHO Study on global AGEing and adult h…

  • Clustering of chronic non-communicable disease risk factors among selected Asian populations

    Open AccessSayed M Ahmed, Syed Masud Ahmed et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2009

    BACKGROUND: The major chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) operate through a cluster of common risk factors, whose presence or absence determines not only the occurrence and severity of the disease, but also informs treatment approaches. Primary prevention based on mitigation of these common risk factors through population-based programmes is the most cost-effective approach to contain the emerging epidemic of chronic NCDs. OBJECTIVES: This s…
