Adult mortality and nutrition in rural Senegal
BACKGROUND: Global mortality transitions are driven by the epidemiologic transition, resulting in a rise in non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which are partly shaped by the nutrition transition and associated chronic conditions. In low- and middle-income countries, these shifts are often viewed as primarily urban phenomena. Rural populations may therefore be overlooked in efforts to prevent and manage NCDs, despite facing critical public health c…
Impact of hypertension on mortality in adults in Moramanga, Madagascar
Hypertension is associated with higher risks of premature death in the community of Moramanga. In addition, hypertension contributes not only to mortality via cardiovascular diseases, but also through all causes combined. The health system should enhance prevention efforts, particularly for young hypertensive patients, when risk is most pronounced
Studying multiple causes of death through verbal autopsies
BACKGROUNDThe analysis of multiple causes of death was developed in high-income countries to study complex morbid processes leading to death.In other countries, such studies are severely limited by the lack of death certificates.Some cause-of-death statistics are produced at the local level through verbal autopsies (VAs): the collecting of information on medical history and symptoms reported by the final caregiver.Algorithmic models have been dev…
Surveying French Public Opinion on Declining Birth Rates
Estimating mortality from census data
In low- and middle-income countries, mortality levels are commonly derived from retrospective reports on deceased relatives collected in sample surveys and censuses. These data sources are potentially affected by recall errors
Errors in reported ages and dates in surveys of adult mortality
Sibling survival histories are a major source of adult mortality estimates in countries with incomplete death registration. We evaluate age and date reporting errors in sibling histories collected during a validation study in the Niakhar Health and Demographic Surveillance System (Senegal). Participants were randomly assigned to either the Demographic and Health Survey questionnaire or a questionnaire incorporating an event history calendar, reca…
The Patterns of Disability in the Peripheral Neighborhoods of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and the Male-Female Health-Survival Paradox
Disability is a crucial health and social concern in sub-Saharan Africa, where a high prevalence of disabling diseases is compounded with insufficient care provision. There is a need for detailed analysis of the disability patterns. We provide a gender-specific picture for the population in peripheral Ouagadougou (Burkina-Faso), based on six disability dimensions following the United Nations' recommendations. We computed disability-free life expe…
Returning home to die or leaving home to seek health care? Location of death of urban and rural residents in Burkina Faso and Senegal
BACKGROUND: In sub-Saharan Africa, the literature on end of life is limited and focuses on place of death as an indicator of access and utilization of health-care resources. Little is known about population mobility at the end of life. OBJECTIVE: To document the magnitude, motivations and associated factors of short-term mobility before death among adults over 15 years of age in Burkina Faso and Senegal. METHODS: The study was based on deaths of …
Estimating mortality from external causes using data from retrospective surveys
In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), data on causes of death is often inaccurate or incomplete. In this paper, we test whether adding a few questions about injuries and accidents to mortality questionnaires used in representative household surveys
Adult mortality patterns in the former Soviet Union's southern tier
BACKGROUND: While the health crisis in the former USSR has been well-documented in the case of Russia and other northern former Soviet republics, little is known about countries located in the southern tier of the region, i.e., the Caucasus and Central Asia. OBJECTIVE: This paper presents new mortality information from two Caucasian countries, Georgia and Armenia. Results are compared with information from two relevant countries previously examin…
Suicide des personnes écrouées en France
Le niveau de suicide en prison est actuellement élevé en France : 18,5 suicides pour 10 000 personnes écrouées pendant la période 2005-2010, soit sept fois plus qu'en population générale. Cet article présente l'évolution du suicide depuis le milieu du xix e siècle, mettant en avant une spécificité croissante du suicide en milieu carcéral par rapport à la population générale. L'analyse porte ensuite sur les associations qui existent entre les risq…
Reporting Errors in Siblings’ Survival Histories and Their Impact on Adult Mortality Estimates
Estimates of adult mortality in countries with limited vital registration (e.g., sub-Saharan Africa) are often derived from information about the survival of a respondent’s siblings. We evaluated the completeness and accuracy of such data through a record linkage study conducted in Bandafassi, located in southeastern Senegal. We linked at the individual level retrospective siblings’ survival histories (SSH) reported by female respondents (n = 268…
Trente ans de solitude… et de dépression
De 1970 à 2002, la dépression a augmenté en France notamment sous les effets conjugués de l’affaiblissement de l’intégration conjugale et des modifications des règles structurant l’intériorité de l’individu. L’augmentation des divers effectifs de personnes seules a cristallisé cette moindre intégration conjugale. La crise économique qui a suivi les Trente Glorieuses, les injonctions sociales à être un soi distinct et performant sont intervenues s…
High Sex Ratios at Birth in the Caucasus
During the 1990s, the sex ratio at birth increased considerably and simultaneously in the three independent Caucasian countries, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. At the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century, levels remain abnormally high in Armenia and Azerbaijan (above 114 male births per 100 female births) and show erratic trends in Georgia. Analyzing data from demographic surveys carried out around 2005, we confirm the persisten…
Situation sanitaire et parcours de soins des personnes âgées en milieu rural africain Une étude à partir des données du suivi de population de Mlomp (Sénégal)
Les sites de suivi démographique contribuent à la connaissance de la situation sanitaire en milieu rural africain, mais qu’en est-il des personnes âgées ? Cette population, particulièrement méconnue, est étudiée à partir des données du suivi de population de Mlomp au Sénégal. En 2005, les plus de 60 ans représentent 10 % de la population et vivent plus souvent seuls qu’en moyenne. Leur espérance de vie est estimée à 17 ans. Les informations sur l…

Recrudescence du paludisme au Sénégal
Le paludisme est l'une des principales causes de mortalité des enfants en Afrique au sud du Sahara. Or, la lutte contre cette maladie est complexe - avec le développement de résistances des parasites aux traitements administrés - et le manque de données démographiques et sanitaires dans les pays les plus touchés empêche son évaluation. Les sites de suivi démographique permettent de mesurer les niveaux et tendances de la mortalité et des causes de…
Malaria resurgence in Senegal
Malaria is one of the leading causes of child mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. With the development of drug-resistant parasites, the fight against malaria has become complex, and because demographic and health data are scarce in the most hard-hit countries, the impact of the disease is difficult to evaluate. Demographic surveillance sites provide a means to measure levels and trends in mortality and causes of death. The data they provide are not …
