Mental and Physical Health Consequences of Spousal Health Shocks Among Older Adults
These findings illustrate that the family context of spouses is important to consider when examining health
Maternal religious attendance and low birth weight
Age at first birth, parity, and post-reproductive mortality among white and black women in the US, 1982-2002
Causes of death and mortality crossovers by race
The phenomenon of "mortality crossovers," the intersection of age curves of mortality at older ages, has been observed in comparisons of various populations for some time. Some researchers have argued that crossovers are an artifact of deficient reporting of age that is greater for some populations than others. Other researchers attribute crossovers to selective processes by age that vary by group. We use mortality data from the National Center f…
Self-reported health and adult mortality risk
Relationship Dynamics, Ethnicity and Condom Use among Low-Income Women
CONTEXT: Women's protection against HIV and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) depends upon their ability to negotiate safer sex. It is important to know how cultural norms and gender roles, which vary by ethnicity, may either constrain or encourage negotiation of condom use. METHODS: Questionnaires were completed by 393 low-income non-Hispanic black, Hispanic and non-Hispanic white women who were sexually active and attending family planning a…
Sociodemographic Differentials in Adult Mortality

Ethnic Differences in Sexual Decisions and Sexual Behavior
Work, marital status, and heart disease
Longitudinal data from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Survey and its follow-up were used to analyze the effects of marriage and work roles and changes in these roles on the incidence of coronary heart conditions in a sample of 3,097 middle-aged women. Education, age, family income, race, and number of children were included as covariates. The data indicated that women who became unmarried, younger women, and better educated women were at …

Differential Mortality
There are strongly pronounced differentials between survival chances for different social classes in less developed countries. This book gives insight into the variety of factors-biological, social, economic and cultural-associated with these inequalities in mortality rates. Certain of the papers deal with new conceptual approaches and methodological issues, while others cover particular countries in Asia and Latin America, providing overall an i…
Proximate determinants of child mortality in liberia
The study looks at the effects of maternal sociodemographic characteristics and the quality of the environment on child survival through two intervening variables, breast-feeding and prenatal care. A linear structural equation modelling approach was used to examine infant and child survival based on a weighted sample of 5180 Liberian children aged 0–5 years. The findings confirm previous studies, but also reveal complex relationships of the role …
Response to Fleshman's comment on “sudden infant death syndrome as a socially determined cause of death”
Infant Mortality by Cause of Death
We examine infant mortality among the 1980–1982 live birth cohorts in the state of Florida, specific to five categories of underlying cause of death: infections, perinatal conditions, delivery complications, congenital malformations, and sudden infant death syndrome. The gross and net effects of eight categorical and continuous independent variables, along with 11 first-order interactions, are examined with microlevel data through the use of mult…

Sudden infant death syndrome as a socially determined cause of death
The background characteristics of infant deaths which have been certified by physicians as due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) are examined. Two alternative models for explaining SIDS deaths are considered. The first views SIDS solely in medical/biological terms, while the second emphasizes the role played by social and cultural factors, either as contributing conditions or as factors in the misattribution of SIDS as the cause of death whe…
Pregnancy Wantedness and Maternal Behavior During Pregnancy
This analysis tests the proposition that women wanting their pregnancies and subsequent births behave differently during their pregnancies than other women. The data are drawn from the National Natality Survey conducted by the US National Center for Health Statistics a follow-back survey based on a probability sample of 9941 live births that occurred in the US in 1980. A sample of 7825 remained after exclusion of out-of-wedlock births. Pregnancy …
Racial differences in infant mortality by cause of death
This research examines racial disparities in infant mortality, overall and separately according to cause of death. Using linked birth and death records for the 1975 cohort of live births in Florida, racial differences are initially described and then explained statistically as a product of the distribution of births by birth weight and maternal age. The impact of birth weight is more pronounced than is the effect of maternal age. The analysis sug…
The Metropolitan System in the South
Metropolitan Function and Interdependence in the U.S. Urban System
Central to the ecological theory of urban systems is the notion of a territorial division of labor based on differentiation and interdependence and mediated by large urban centers performing metropolitan, i.e., control and coordination, functions. The hypothesis of a positive relationship between performance of metropolitan functions and extensiveness of involvement in the web of interdependence (the latter measured by volume and variety of trade…
Recent Changes in Marital Instability among Mexican Americans

Differences in Marital Instability among Mexican Americans, Blacks, and Anglos
A comparative analysis of differences in marital instability, carried out over time as well as cross-sectionally, indicates that the relative frequency of marital disruption of ever-married women is low among Mexican Americans, followed by Anglos and Blacks in ascending order. Introduction of controls for age, age at first marriage, and other potential determinants of marital solidarity does not alter the ranking by ethnicity. The results suggest…
