| Popis: | The impact of maternal education on infant mortality in Brazil is analyzed by estimating relative risks in a case control study. "The cases consisted of a sample of infant deaths which were registered at the Registry Office and which occurred in the Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre (Brazil) in 1980, and the control group was a sample of births occurring in the same region in 1980, and also notified to the Registry Office. With information obtained from a special household survey, a total of 688 cases and 762 controls [were] analyzed...for maternal education and its association with family income, birth order and environmental factors. Specific relative risks (associated with maternal education) have also been calculated separately for 3 groups of cause-of-death and for 3 age-at-death groups." (SUMMARY IN ENG) |
