    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Public Health
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Infant mortality remains a critical public health concern globally.
    • Socioeconomic factors, particularly parental education, are recognized determinants of child health outcomes.
    • Understanding these determinants is crucial for developing targeted interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the association between parental education and infant mortality in Shiraz, Iran.
    • To investigate the influence of bio-medical factors, such as birth spacing, on urban infant mortality.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized data from a 1980 fertility survey conducted in Shiraz, Iran.
    • Included approximately 600 currently married women in the analysis.
    • Examined infant mortality rates in relation to parental education and bio-medical variables.
