本文件的目的是调查育龄妇女因暴力造成的死亡率水平和趋势，以及与这种死亡率有关的社会和人口因素。这项研究于1982至1998年间在孟加拉的农村地区MatLab进行。数据由设在该地区的基于人口的纵向人口监测系统提供。采用病例对照设计研究确定暴力致死的相关因素，并对死亡登记表中的数据进行分析。根据自杀和杀人案的定义，女性的暴力死亡率高于男性。在研究期间，暴力死亡率保持在相同的水平，而其他原因的死亡率有所下降。年轻、尚未结婚的妇女是暴力致死的高危群体。丈夫和亲属的压迫、身体和精神虐待往往发生在自杀和杀人之前。妇女在孟加拉国社会中的不利地位是造成暴力的主要社会原因。为了减少对妇女的暴力行为，提高妇女的社会地位至关重要。(C)2004爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
The objectives of this paper are to investigate levels and trends in mortality due to violence in women of reproductive age and the social and demographic factors associated with such mortality. The study took place in Matlab, a rural subdistrict in Bangladesh between 1982 and 1998. The data were furnished by a longitudinal population-based demographic surveillance system located in that area. A case-control design study was used out to identify factors associated with death due to violence, and data from death registration forms were analyzed. The death rate due to violence, defined in terms of suicides and homicides, was higher among women than men. Death rates from violence remained at the same level during the study period while death rates from other causes decreased. Young, not yet married women were a high risk group with respect to death from violence. Oppression, physical and mental abuse by husbands and relatives often preceded suicides and homicides. The disadvantaged position of women in Bangladesh society is the key underlying social cause of the violence that occurred. In order for violence against women to decrease, improvement in the social position of women is essential. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
