Empirical evidence is based on the pooled OLS and system GMM estimators. The substantial negative association between long run GDP per capita and mortality is borne out both by graphical representation (Figure 2) and simple regressions of outcomes (maternal mortality ratio (MMR) and infant mortality rate (IMR)) on GDP per capita (log values) (Table 1).The association with income appears to vary over the years, with the strongest correlation in the 1966 to … The global neonatal mortality rate, NMR, decreased from 36.6 in 1990 to 18.0 in 2017. Morbidity and mortality can have health effects and psychological costs for women, children, and other family or household members.

The findings indicated that the closer the mother’s residence at birth to fracking wells, the more negative are the effects on the infants’ birth health.

Adolescent pregnancy remains a major contributor to maternal and child mortality, and to intergenerational cycles of ill-health and poverty. First births faced mortality risks comparable to those of second-order births with prior-interval lengths of 34 months or more. HHS The coefficient on postneonatal mortality is not statistically significant and even negative. Using a pairing process an analysis file was constructed with 652 pairs of children (298 neonatal observations and 354 post-neonatal observations) from 269 villages.
