Differentials Adult and maternal mortality
17
Adult mortality

• Direct estimates of adult mortality were obtained
  from information collected in the sibling
  history.
• Maternal mortality is a subset of adult
  mortality.
• Estimates are for the period 1994-2000.

18
Adult mortality rates

• Mortality rate for men age 15-49 is 4.8 deaths
  per 1,000.
• Mortality rate for women age 15-49 is 3.5 deaths
  per 1,000.

19
Maternal mortality

• Maternal deaths are defined as any death
  that occurred
• During pregnancy
• During childbirth
• Within 2 months after the birth or termination of
  a pregnancy.

20
Maternal mortality measurements

• For the period 1994-2000, 437 women died from
  maternal related causes per 100,000 live births
  (maternal mortality ratio).
• This ratio corresponds to a lifetime risk of
  dying from maternal causes of 1 in 50.
• Maternal deaths accounted for 18 of all deaths
  to women age 15-49.

21
Main findings on mortality

• One in 10 children does not survive to his/her
  first birthday.
• One in 8 children does not survive to his/her
  fifth birthday.
• Mortality levels seem to have increased slightly
  over the last decade.
• Rural children, those born of mothers with no
  education and those whose mother did not receive
  assistance at delivery have the highest risk of
  dying.

22

• Wide geographic disparities in child survival
  chances persist in Cambodia
• infant mortality is 38 in Phnom Penh and 65 in
  Kampong Thum as opposed to 139 in Pousat and
  170 in Mondol Kiri/Rotanak Kiri.
• The pace and pattern of childbearing affects the
  probability of childhood death
• children born of teenage mothers, those with a
  birth order of 7 or more and those born less than
  2 years after their sibling have the highest risk
  of dying.

23

• For the period 1994-2000, the maternal mortality
  ratio is 437 per 100,000 live births.
• Maternal deaths accounted for 18 of all deaths
  to women age 15-49
