"This article uses the data from [a] United Nations database, supplemented in a few cases with information from local studies thought to be of particular accuracy, to examine age patterns of child mortality [in developing countries]. The focus is on the split between infant mortality--that is, mortality before the first birthday, and child mortality, between the exact ages of 1 and 5 years.... The underlying objective of the article is to identify regional patterns, both because the epidemiology and social behaviours underlying child mortality are likely to be similar across regions and because such identified patterns could then be used to guide the selection of a model life-table family when using indirect estimation methods in countries of a region."
本文使用了联合国数据库中的数据，并在少数情况下补充了一些被认为特别准确的当地研究信息，以研究[发展中国家]儿童死亡率的年龄模式。重点是婴儿死亡率（即一岁前的死亡率）和1至5岁确切年龄之间的儿童死亡率之间的差异……本文的基本目标是确定区域模式，这既是因为儿童死亡率背后的流行病学和社会行为在各区域可能相似，也是因为这样确定的模式随后可用于指导在一个区域的国家使用间接估计方法时选择模型生命表族。
