分析了1993-98年期间努纳人口监测系统数据库。计算了基本人口参数、年龄别死亡率和年龄标准化死亡率，并分析了死亡率的季节性变化。泊松回归被用来模拟计算的死亡率和调查的季节性死亡率模式。按年龄分列的人口分布和死亡率反映了整个非洲农村地区人口结构和总死亡率的典型模式：儿童死亡率高，人口年轻（约60%在25岁以下;约10%在64岁以上）。我们发现了一个重要的季节性模式，2月份的死亡率最高。非洲人口监测系统为收集非洲农村人口动态事件的可靠数据提供了一个可行的方法，因此应当建立和支持。
The Nouna demographic surveillance system database was analysed for the period 1993-98. Basic demographic parameters, age-specific and age-standardized mortality rates were calculated and a seasonal variation in mortality was analysed. Poisson regression was used to model the calculated mortality rates and to investigate the seasonal mortality pattern. Both the population distribution by age and the mortality rates reflect a typical pattern of population structures and total mortality in rural Africa as a whole: high childhood mortality and a young population (about 60% are up to age 25; about 10% above age 64). We identified a significant seasonal pattern with highest mortality rates in February. Demographic surveillance systems in Africa provide a viable method for the collection of reliable data on vital events in rural Africa and should therefore be established and supported.
