  • Title: Level and pattern of mortality in the Kuwaiti population, 1980.
    Author: El-shalakani M.
    Journal: Popul Bull ECWA; 1984 Dec; (25):89-106. PubMed ID: 12267042.
    Abstract:
    "Vital registration data together with 1980 census data [are] used for assessing the mortality level among the Kuwaiti male and female population in 1980. Under the eclectic approach adopted in this paper, mortality estimates for different sections of age-spans are derived through various indirect techniques. For early childhood mortality estimates, the method developed by Brass...has been employed, whereas, for old age, mortality estimates are derived through Coale's method.... The results show that, as in the developed societies, Kuwaiti females have lower mortality compared with Kuwaiti males."
