Abstract

Abstract:Birth interval is the period between two live births of a woman. In Indonesia, the National Family Planning Agency recommends a birth interval of between 36–60 months to reduce the risk of maternal and child mortality. The objective of this research is to analyze birth intervals and their relationship with infant mortality using survival analysis of data from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey. Infant mortality was calculated using person-years, and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to describe the relationship between infant mortality and preceding birth interval. The Cox proportional hazard model was used for multivariate analysis, revealing a negative relationship between birth interval and infant mortality. For each one-year increase in birth length, there is a reduction in infant mortality of 11.9 percent. This study also shows that the economic status of mother significantly affects infant mortality, with babies born to poor mothers 1.84 times more likely to die.
印度尼西亚的出生间隔和婴儿死亡率
摘要:生育间隔是指女性两次活产之间的时间间隔。在印度尼西亚,国家计划生育机构建议生育间隔在36-60个月之间,以减少孕产妇和儿童死亡的风险。本研究的目的是利用2017年印度尼西亚人口与健康调查数据的生存分析来分析出生间隔及其与婴儿死亡率的关系。婴儿死亡率以人-年计算,Kaplan-Meier曲线用于描述婴儿死亡率与产前间隔之间的关系。采用Cox比例风险模型进行多变量分析,发现出生间隔与婴儿死亡率呈负相关。出生长度每增加一年,婴儿死亡率就会降低11.9%。这项研究还表明,母亲的经济地位显著影响婴儿死亡率,贫困母亲所生婴儿的死亡率是贫困母亲的1.84倍。
