   Sammanfattning : Background Knowledge of the state of health of a population is necessary for planning for health services for that population. It is  a paradox that the health of populations is most commonly measured by mortality and cause of death patterns, but the absence of medical services available to a majority of the world population has made it unavoidable to equate “state of health” with “cause of death pattern”.

4. 13. Mortality and survival from childhood to old age in rural Ethiopia

The outcome is measured in length of sick leave, number of spells and granted sickness and disability pensions. LÄS MER
