The present cross sectional study was conducted among Schedule castes
populations of District ‘Banda’ Uttar Pradesh. Here is an attempt to find out
the mortality profile and its association with biosocial determinants. For
present study data was collected from 1050 households of 35 villages of
district Banda (UP). The villages were selected using stratified sampling and
respondent were selected randomly. Demographic information was collected on a
total of 5527 individuals. To understand embryonic mortality pregnancy
enumeration of 998 mothers were recorded. These mothers were experienced 5922
numbers of pregnancies out of which 5026 were termed as live birth. Out of 5026
live births, 1120 children were died before achieving maturity or adulthood.
The average foetal loss per mother was computed 0.90±1.18, whereas the mean of
child loss was found 1.12±1.50. The mortality measure like CDR, IMR and CMR
were higher among Chamar (respectively CDR=25.1, IMR= 186.4 and CMR= 57.81)
than Kori, Dhobi and Domar. The Mortality measurements like CDR and IMR of
present study is higher than district, state and national level estimation. The
regression analysis indicate that there is significant correlation (P<0.05)
between child mortality and demographic, socioeconomic, and health &
nutritional determinants except BMI. - See more at: .
