选定的人口和社会经济变量对婴儿和儿童死亡率（1979年的数据）之间的3个文化群体-穆斯林，Harijans，种姓印度教徒-在农村Chittoor区的安得拉邦邦在印度中南部地区的影响进行了分析。整个安得拉邦的婴儿死亡率都很高，但穆斯林和哈里扬人的婴儿死亡率（82.6/1 000和82/8/1 000活产）高于种姓印度人（63.25）。研究的人口统计学变量有：结婚年龄、年龄、受孕次数、存活子女数和生育间隔。除结婚年龄和子女数外，所有因素对3组的影响一致。Harijan人的儿童死亡率反映了早婚的不利影响，而大量的活孩子对穆斯林的婴儿和儿童死亡率都有不利影响。回归分析还表明，出生顺序与婴儿和儿童死亡率以及存活儿童人数与儿童死亡率之间存在高度相关性。考虑的社会经济价值包括经济地位、教育、职业、家庭结构、婚姻类型和居住类型（通风方面）。在经济上，种姓印度教徒是最好的;教育地位是最低的Harijans。在职业上，大多数种姓印度教徒是农民;穆斯林是商人; Harijans是工人。更多的Harijan妇女和14岁以下的儿童从事农业劳动，赚取工资。从婴儿死亡率的角度来看，家庭收入呈负相关的Harijans，但积极的穆斯林和种姓印度教徒;丈夫的职业相关性非常负Harijans和穆斯林。Harijans的房屋类型和家庭规模呈负相关，但对其他人不显着。儿童死亡率的相关性类似于婴儿死亡率的大多数变量，但在穆斯林中，丈夫的教育和家庭类型呈负相关，婚姻类型呈正相关。一般来说，社会经济因素对婴儿和儿童死亡率的影响比文化或宗教更重要。
The influence of selected demographic and socioeconomic variables on infant and child mortality (1979 data) among 3 cultural groups -- Muslims, Harijans, and Caste Hindus -- in the rural Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh state in the South Central Region of India are analysed. Infant mortality was high throughout Andhra Pradesh, but it was higher among Muslims and Harijans (82.6/1000 and 82/8/1000 live births) than among Caste Hindus (63.25). The demographic variables examined were: age at marriage, age, number of conceptions, number of living children, and birth intervals. All except age at marriage and number of living children affected the 3 groups uniformly. Child mortality among the Harijans reflected the adverse effect of early marriage, and the large number of living children had and adverse effect on both infant and child mortality among the Muslims. Regression analysis also showed the high correlation of birth order to both infant and child mortality and of number of living children to childhood mortality. The socioeconomic values considered were economic status, education, occupation, family structure, type of marriage, and type of residence (in terms of ventilation). Economically, Caste Hindus were best off; educational status was lowest among the Harijans. Occupationally, most Caste Hindus were farmers; Muslims were businessmen; and Harijans were laborers. More Harijan women and children under 14 worked for wages as agricultural laborers. From the point of view of infant mortality, family income correlated negatively among the Harijans but positively among Muslims and Caste Hindus; occupation of husband correlated very negatively for Harijans and Muslims. Type of house and household size were negatively correlated for the Harijans but were not significant for the others. Correlations for childhood mortality were similar to those for infant mortality for most variables, but among Muslims education of husband and type of family correlated negatively and type of marriage positively. Socioeconomic factors in general were more important than culture or religion in their influence on infant and child mortality.
