The Bangladesh paradox
Challenges for philanthropy and tobacco control in China (1986–2012)
International engagement has been an important dimension of tobacco control in China. Recognising the large burden of illness and capitalising on proven effective control measures, philanthropic organisations understandably seized the opportunity to achieve major health gains. Much of the international philanthropic investment has been directed at public information, policy change and building the Chinese research knowledge base. Documenting rese…

Population Policies Reconsidered
In this volume, scholars, policy-makers and women's health advocates suggest a new consensus on population policy directions for the 21st century, centred on health, women's empowerment, and human rights. They argue that public policy should assure the rights and well-being of people, rather than simply attempting to limit the ultimate size of the world's population

Understanding Morbidity Change
1992) for understanding morbidity change. Among the more contentious issues, Riley challenges the importance of the distinction between self-perceived morbidity and observed morbidity. He then claims that the duration of disease episodes is on average increasing. This increase is framed in terms of the epidemiological transition (Omran, 1971). According to Riley, the distinction between self-perceived and observed morbidity is false. Because self…

Understanding Morbidity Change
The authors develop an approach to morbidity definition and measurement review specific methods and present a framework for classifying different types of morbidity indicators. They examine various approaches to the interactions between morbidity and mortality change illustrating these with selected data from India the United States and Ghana. (SUMMARY IN FRE AND SPA) (EXCERPT)
Poliomyelitis
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 74% of the world's children were fully immunized against poliomyelitis by early 1990; even so, the disease is still paralysing almost a quarter of a million individuals each year and killing perhaps 25 000. This paper - one of a series undertaken on specific diseases for the World Bank's Health Sector Priorities Review on diseases of major importance in the developing world - reviews available ev…
Coping with economic crisis
This paper explores health policy options in response to economic crises in developing countries. The paper is based upon the premise that policy is best pursued within a broad understanding of the determinants of health of populations. To provide an empirical base for analysis, the health status and health care systems of China and India are compared. A conceptual framework on the determinants of the health status of populations is then develope…

Sex Bias in the Family Allocation of Food and Health Care in Rural Bangladesh
Conclusive evidence was provided in an earlier study by the authors of higher female than male mortality from shortly after birth through the childbearing ages in a rural area of Bangladesh.' Male mortality exceeded female mortality in the neonatal period, but this differential was reversed in the postneonatal period. Higher female than male mortality continued through childhood into adolescence and extended through the reproductive ages. The mos…

Sex Differentials in Mortality in Rural Bangladesh
This study provides conclusive documentation of higher female than male mortality from shortly after birth through the childbearing ages in a rural area of Bangladesh. The higher male mortality rates during the neonatal period are consistent with reports from developed countries; but whereas in developed countries this higher male mortality risk continues through childhood and adolescence the differential is reversed during the post-neonatal peri…

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…

Maternal Mortality in Rural Bangladesh
Studies were carried out by the Cholera Research Laboratory to investigate maternal mortality in rural Bangladesh. In the 1st study field workers interviewed the closest relative of every reported deceased female in the reproductive age group to diagnose the probable cause of death. The 2nd investigation involved an analysis of all registered birth and death reports in a specified population. In the 2 studies the maternal mortality rates were fou…
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…

Demographic Change and Food Production in Bangladesh, 1960-74
Bangladesh, the eighth most populous country in the world, provides an acute illustration of the recent concern over the precarious global balance between food supply and rapid population growth. A new nation with about 76 million people inhabiting 142 thousand square kilometers of land, Bangladesh is the most densely settled rural nation in the world. The economy of Bangladesh is overwhelmingly dominated by agriculture; it contributes over two-t…

Disaster in Bangladesh. Health Crises in a Developing Nation
Prospective study of birth interval dynamics in rural Bangladesh
A group of 209 married, fecund women in rural Bangladesh were studied prospectively for 24 months from 1969 to 1971 to define some of the biological and sociological factors relating to fertility performance. These women were selected from a larger study population of 112,000 that had been followed with a daily house-to-house vital registration programme since 1966. The selected women were interviewed bi-weekly and were asked questions about mens…
