    Infant and child mortality significantly decreased in São Paulo. Improved health services, not malnutrition control, likely drove these gains, challenging traditional public health approaches.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Pediatrics
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Infant and childhood mortality rates in São Paulo experienced substantial declines between 1973 and 1983.
    • Despite mortality improvements, protein-energy malnutrition prevalence and socioeconomic factors remained largely unchanged.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the factors contributing to the significant reduction in infant and child mortality in São Paulo.
    • To determine the role of malnutrition control versus other interventions in this mortality decline.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of mortality data from 1973-1983.
    • Review of nutritional status surveys from 1973-74 and 1984-85.
    • Assessment of changes in water supply, breastfeeding duration, and health service coverage.

    Main Results:

    • Infant mortality decreased by approximately 50%, and child mortality by 70%.
    • Protein-energy malnutrition prevalence showed no significant change.
    • Improvements in water supply and breastfeeding duration may explain a 20% infant mortality reduction.
    • Enhanced health service coverage is hypothesized to account for the remaining mortality decrease.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant reductions in infant and child mortality are achievable even without concurrent decreases in malnutrition.
    • Expanded health services appear to be a critical factor in lowering mortality rates in developing regions.
    • Public health strategies may need re-evaluation, as direct malnutrition control is not always a prerequisite for reducing child deaths.
