  • Causes of death from community settings

    Open AccessIsaac Lyatuu, Mahadia Tunga et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    BACKGROUND: Approximately 70% of deaths in Tanzania occur outside health facilities and are often unreported or lack cause of death (COD) information. Consequently, health planning relies on data representing only 10%-15% of the population. To address this gap, Tanzania integrated verbal autopsy (VA) into its civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) to generate more comprehensive COD data for mortality reporting. This manuscript shares Tanz…

  • Birth intervals and childhood mortality in rural Tanzania

    Open AccessColin Baynes, Almamy Malick Kante et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2025

    Family planning programmes in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) often disseminate the proposition that birth spacing improves child survival. Yet, there are few examinations of this hypothesis that benefit from longitudinal data. This paper addresses this gap using 15 years of prospective data from three rural districts of Tanzania. The effect of birth interval durations on the risk of childhood mortality was estimated by fitting Weibull parametric hazard…

  • The Impact of Childhood Mortality on Fertility in Rural Tanzania

    Open AccessColin Baynes, Almamy Malick Kante et al.ARTICLEDemography2023Cited by: 1References: 54

    This manuscript examines the relationship between child mortality and subsequent fertility using longitudinal data on births and childhood deaths occurring among 15,291 Tanzanian mothers between 2000 and 2015. Generalized hazard regression analyses assess the effect of child loss on the hazard of conception, adjusting for child-level, mother-level, and contextual covariates. Results show that time to conception is most reduced if an index child d…

  • The influence of weather on mortality in rural Tanzania

    Open AccessSigilbert Mrema, Amri Shamte et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2012

    BACKGROUND: Weather and climate changes are associated with a number of immediate and long-term impacts on human health that occur directly or indirectly, through mediating variables. Few studies to date have established the empirical relationship between monthly weather and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to assess the association between monthly weather (temperature and rainfall) on all-cause morta…
