| contents | Child Mortality and Reproductive Patterns in Bolivia, 1993-1998 Guido Pinto Aguirre Salud The objective of the present study is to examine the effects of severalreproductive and demographic factors on child survival in Bolivia, one of themost impoverished nations in all of Latin America. We model the joint effects ofmaternal age, parity, pace of childbearing, duration of breastfeeding, anduse of modern contraception on child mortality. Data for this research comefrom "Demographic and Health Survey" (DHS) carried out during 1998. Theresults obtained in this paper support the evidence found in other studies:breastfeeding and the pace of childbearing are the most important reproductivepatterns affecting child mortality risks, and their strong, consistent effects tend topersist even after the introduction of various socioeconomic variables as controls:short preceding birth intervals and short durations of breastfeeding increase therisk of death during the first two years of life. 2007 artículo científico 1659-0201 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=44640201 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=446 Población y Salud en Mesoamérica application/pdf Universidad de Costa Rica Población y Salud en Mesoamérica (Costa Rica) Num.2 Vol.4 |
