[Some demographic aspects of a rural northeast Brazilian population]
Abstract:
"A sample of 1,806 families from the Brazilian Northeastern region was analysed in order to study the effect of several socio-economical parameters upon the reproductive structure of this population." The data are from a hospital in Sao Paulo district and were collected in 1969-1970. The results show the low health status of the population as a whole, which in turn, has an influence on mortality. In particular, postnatal mortality rates are shown to increase from the south to the north of the region, in association with different levels of socioeconomic development. (SUMMARY IN ENG)
