- W2279872733 abstract "Changes in infant mortality rates (IMRs) for India's 16 states between 1968-71 and 1975-77 were reviewed, male and female disparities in infant mortality for the various states were examined, and the degree to which variations in the rates and male and female disparities were a function of state differences in economic standing and in the strength of son preferences was explored. Infant mortality rates were obtained from Sample Registration System publications. Between 1968-71 and 1975-77, IMRs declined in 6 of the 7 states which had relatively low rates in 1968-71. The exception was the state of Punjab where the IMR increased from 98-104. All the other states for which comparative data were available had relatively high IMRs in 1968-71 and even higher IMRs in 1975-77. The highest increase occurred in Haryana where the IMR increased from 71-113. An examination of state IMRs in relation to the state's domestic product revealed that variations in IMRs were only partially associated with variations in state prosperity. For example, while the poorest state, Uttar Pradesh had the highest IMR rate (181), Jammu and Kashmir, another very poor state, had 1 of the lowest IMRs (66). The 2 wealthest states, Punjab and Haryana, had relatively high rates and both experienced an increase in IMRs in recent years. States with medium domestic products also exhibited considerable variability in IMRs. For example, Kerala had the lowest IMR (52), and Rajasthan had 1 of the highest rates (146). When the states were plotted on a graph by domestic product and IMRs, it was apparent that there was a relationship between the IMRs and the states' relative wealth; however, this effect appeared to be lessened in states which had higher female IMRs than male IMRs, i.e., states with strong son preferences. The positive effect of son preferences on IMRs was especially apparent in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, and Punjab. For example, in Punjab, which had both a high IMR and a high domestic product, there was a marked son preference, and in 1968-71, Punjab's IMR for males was 97 compared to 111 for females. The impact of son preference on Punjab's IMR is further confirmed by a recent study which was conducted in Punjab's Ludhiana district. The district is highly developed and has a good health care program. An analysis of health program records revealed that in 1983, female deaths accounted for 85% of all the deaths recorded for children aged 7 months to 36 months. In summary, the variation in state IMRs appeared to be largely, but not completely, due to state differences in prosperity and the strenght of son preferences." @default.
