在受艾滋病毒/艾滋病影响最严重的国家，由于国家统计数据的不足，难以衡量这一流行病对人口的影响。本报告分析了过去二十年来津巴布韦成人死亡率水平和趋势的国家数据。它评估数据质量，并提出对成人死亡风险上升的估计。虽然这些估计数远非完美，但对来自众多来源的数据进行比较分析，为该流行病的影响提供了有说服力的证据。联合国艾滋病规划署《德班报告》（2000年联合国艾滋病规划署）显示，津巴布韦有25%的成年人感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病，使其成为受该流行病影响最严重的国家之一。关于这一流行病的社会和经济后果的证据非常广泛，并表明对宏观经济、家庭和学校入学以及农业和商业产生严重影响（2000年非洲发展论坛）。
IN THE COUNTRIES Most severely affected by HIV/AIDS, deficiencies in national statistics make it difficult to gauge the demographic impact of the epidemic. This report analyzes national data on the level and trend of adult mortality in Zimbabwe over the past two decades. It assesses data quality and presents estimates of the rise in adult mortality risks. Although the estimates are far from perfect, comparative analysis of data from numerous sources provides persuasive evidence of the impact of the epidemic.The UNAIDS ''Durban Report'' (UNAIDS 2000) shows 25 percent of adults in Zimbabwe living with HIV/AIDS, making it one of the countries most affected by the epidemic. Evidence of the social and economic consequences of the epidemic is extensive and indicates serious impacts on the macroeconomy, on households and school enrollment, and on agriculture and business (African Development Forum 2000).
