This study investigates the socio-demographic differentials in mortality during the 1974-75 famine in a rural area of Bangladesh. It is based on household socioeconomic information collected in the 1974 census and registration data on births, deaths and migrations for the period 1974-79 from the Demographic Surveillance System of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh. Ownership of selected household items was considered in the analysis as an indicator of household socioeconomic status. Mortality was 62% higher during the famine period and 31% higher during the post-famine period compared to the non-famine period. The mortality of both the poor and the rich increased during the famine period, by 117% and 28% respectively compared to the non-famine period. The poor suffered significantly in all age groups except 5-14 years, while the rich suffered only for ages 65 and over. Poor males suffered more than poor females except for ages 65 and over, while rich females suffered more than rich males except for ages under 1 year.
本研究调查了1974 - 1975年孟加拉国农村地区饥荒期间死亡率的社会人口统计学差异。该研究基于1974年人口普查收集的家庭社会经济信息以及1974 - 1979年期间孟加拉国腹泻病研究国际中心人口监测系统的出生、死亡和迁移登记数据。分析中选取了部分家庭用品的拥有情况作为家庭社会经济地位的指标。与非饥荒时期相比，饥荒期间死亡率高出62%，饥荒后时期高出31%。饥荒期间，穷人和富人的死亡率均有所上升，与非饥荒时期相比，分别上升了117%和28%。除5 - 14岁年龄组外，穷人在所有年龄组中都遭受了严重影响，而富人仅在65岁及以上年龄段受影响。除65岁及以上年龄段外，贫困男性比贫困女性遭受的影响更大，而除1岁以下年龄段外，富裕女性比富裕男性遭受的影响更大。
