In 1984 a prospective study of 1645 women and 1677 births in a rural community in north-eastern Brazil showed the infant mortality rate to be 65 per 1000 live births. Neonatal, post-neonatal and infant mortality are analysed to determine the most important risk factors for each period. Post-neonatal survival depends largely on factors relating to child care, while neonatal deaths are more likely to be associated with biological factors. The principal cause of death, diarrhoeal disease, was responsible for a third of the deaths.
1984年，在巴西东北部一个农村社区对1645名妇女和1677例分娩进行的一项前瞻性研究表明，婴儿死亡率为每1000例活产65例。对新生儿、新生儿后期和婴儿死亡率进行分析，以确定每个时期最重要的风险因素。新生儿后期的存活很大程度上取决于与儿童护理相关的因素，而新生儿死亡更可能与生物学因素有关。主要死因腹泻病占死亡总数的三分之一。
