In 2000, black infants were five times more likely to die. In 2012, the rate improved to 6.5 deaths per 1000 live births. This is due to poverty and lifestyle according to Oliver Ortega who wrote about this in the Boston Globe.
Reducing the number of babies women have; Lowering infant and child mortality rates; Lower maternal mortality rates; Protecting against HIV/AIDS infection; Increased number of women with jobs and higher earnings and; Benefits that last many generations.
There are many things that cause maternal and infant mortality. The most common reason is that women do not get proper care while pregnant.
they are related by how many timies the women gets pregant in her life time.
Many factors,infant and child mortality is higher among female.Female feticide was very common in India which was a major factor of low female population.Some reasons are historical or just incidental.
The most common causes of infant mortality rate in Fiji is poverty. Many women in poverty get pregnant under absolute poverty conditions. Being born into this environment increases the likelihood that a new born baby will not survive.
Minority women and women of low socioeconomic status have higher rates of cervical cancer and an increased mortality rate.
Women who receive inadequate prenatal care also have increased chances of delivering a very low birth weight (VLBW) infant, which is linked to risk of early death.
Infant mortality in Afghanistan fell markedly after the overthrow of Taleban, with 40,000 fewer babies dying yearly. Improved women's medical care was given as the main reason for the drop in infant deaths. Preliminary results of a Johns Hopkins University study say the infant mortality rate has reduced by 135 per 1,000 live births in 2006, down from an estimated 165 per 1,000 in 2001. In 2013, the infant mortality rate in Afghanistan was 119 deaths per 1,000 births. This is one of the highest rates in the world.
Women between the ages of 25 and 34 have a higher incidence of ectopic pregnancy, although the mortality rate among women over the age of 35 is 2.5-5.9 times higher.
Ethnicity and Breast CancerThere are some associations between ethnicity and breast cancer. ALL women should be screened routinely per the current guidelines, but research indicates that white, non-Hispanic women have a higher prevalence of breast cancer overall, but other differences have also been found. For example, black women have higher prevalence in the 40-50 year age group when compared to white women. Further, black women, in general, have an overall higher mortality than any other ethnicity.
Currently 11.47 per thousand. Infant mortality is 67.33 per thousand live births. Life expectancy is 55.35 years (men 53.43 and women 57.34)
The life expectancy for both men and women in Zambia is very low: only 39 years. This is largely due to a high infant mortality rate: over 10%.
