The study investigated the effects on diarrhoeal deaths among under-5-year-old Mexican children of the following variables: season (summer or winter), region (north versus south), age group, and place of death. Examination of death certificates indicated that the distribution of deaths in 1989-90 was bimodal, with one peak during the winter and a more pronounced one during the summer. In 1993-94, however, the winter peak was higher than that in the summer (odds ratio (OR) = 2.04). These findings were due mostly to deaths among children aged 1-23 months (OR = 1.86). Diarrhoeal mortality was highest among children aged 6-11 months (OR = 2.23). During the winter, there was a significant increase in the number of deaths that occurred in medical care units and among children who had been seen by a physician before they died, but deaths occurring at home showed no seasonal variation. In the northern states, the reduction in diarrhoeal mortality was less in winter than in summer (OR = 2.62). In the southern states, the proportional reduction during the winter was similar to that in the summer.

PIP: In this study, the influence of season, region, age group, and place of occurrence of death on diarrheal mortality among under-five Mexican children was examined. Data on diarrheal deaths from 1989 to 1995 were collected from the National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Information, Mexico City. All diarrheal deaths among under-fives were identified by month to determine whether there was any seasonal pattern. Results showed that the distribution of death in 1989-90 was bimodal, with one peak during the winter and a more pronounced one during the summer. However, in 1993-94, the winter peak was higher than that in summer [odds ratio (OR) = 2.04]. This was caused mostly by deaths among children aged 1-23 months (OR = 1.86). Diarrheal mortality was highest among children aged 6-11 months (OR = 2.23). A significant increase in the number of deaths occurred during winter in medical care units, but deaths occurring at home showed no seasonal variation. The reduction in diarrheal mortality in northern states was less pronounced in winter than in summer (OR = 2.62); however, in the southern states, the proportional reduction in winter was similar to that in summer.
