  • Title: [Relationship between infant mortality and fertility in seven Asian countries].
    Author: Benoit D, Guillaume A, Levi P.
    Journal: Cah Orstom (Sci Hum); 1984; 20(2):243-56. PubMed ID: 12313814.
    Abstract:
    The relationship between infant mortality and fertility in seven Asian countries is examined using data from the World Fertility Survey. The countries are Bangladesh, Fiji, Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and, in particular, the Republic of Korea. The results indicate that higher rates of infant mortality are associated with certain genetic abnormalities and with certain types of women who are particularly underprivileged from a social or economic point of view. Consideration is also given to the relationship between infant mortality and birth intervals.
