pubmed:abstractText	The relationship of reproductive patterns, some socio-economic factors and child survival was studied in 766 rural Somali women. A structured questionnaire was the method of data collection. Teenage marriage was the norm for the women, and divorce was very common. The mean number of live births was 5.2, and the mean number of surviving children was 3.7. 2/3 of the women aged 45+ had a parity of 6 or more, about one third had had at least one miscarriage and one fifth had experienced one stillbirth. Primary infertility was observed in 7% of the women aged 45+, while 20% were considered subfertile. Verbal autopsy showed that mortality was highest among infants and accounted for 63% of the child deaths. Major causes of death were neonatal tetanus, diarrhoea and respiratory diseases. Child survival and reproductive outcome ratios were found to be negatively related to the increasing age of the mother and parity. Divorce and widowhood were also found to be associated with low child survival.

pubmed:otherAbstract	PIP: Somalia before the civil war had an estimated population of about 6 million and a growth rate of 3%. 25% were settled farmers and about 50% were pastoralists. Life expectancy was 46 years. Infant mortality was 150 per 1000 live births. Primary school enrollment was under 10%. Average household size was 6. Almost all households owned or rented a farm, and 65% owned cattle. A demographic surveillance system was set up during 1987-89 in rural areas. This study surveyed marriage, fertility, and infertility patterns among three villages (Lamadoonka, Buulalow, and Omar Beere) representative of dry land farming between the Jubba and Shabelle Rivers. A 1986 census was conducted, and this study interviewed 766 women: 196 women 15-44 years old from Omar Beere and 590 women 15-93 years old from the other villages. The mean age of the study population was 34.7 years. 71% were married, 12% were single, and 15% were divorced or widowed. The average age of first marriage was 15.6 years. About 33% married before the age of 14 years. 36% of women 45 years and older, and 25% of women under 45 years old married before the age of 14 years. 30% were divorced at some time. Almost 50% had married more than once. The mean number of births was 5.2, and the mean number of surviving children was 3.7. Almost 66% of the 177 women over 45 years old had a parity of 6 or more, 33% had at least one miscarriage and 20% had at least one stillbirth. 80% had experienced the death of at least 1 child. 33% had experienced the deaths of 6 or more of their children. 7% of the older women had never been pregnant, and 15% were childless even after pregnancy. The mean child survival ratio was 0.77, which was attributed to child mortality. The child survival ratio was 79 among women under 45 years old and 60 among women over 45 years old. The reproductive outcome ratios were 72 and 55 respectively. The ratios were inversely related to increasing age and parity. Child deaths amounted to 954 children, of whom 63% died before the age of one year, 24% died between 1-5 years, and 13% died after the age of 5 years. 52% of infant deaths were reported due to tetanus, 14% from diarrhea, and 5% from respiratory diseases. Circumcision data was not collected, but all females were circumcised.
