Mortality has been analyzed at the level of a small population of approximately 5000 persons, part of the Dogon of Mali. They are separated into four distinct groups, each composed of from three to four villages. Adjusted life tables are estimated for two periods of five years: 1977-81 and 1982-86. First these tables were calculated for the entire population and then for two of the most densely populated massifs. Mortality is very high. However, it is different in the two areas. This difference, already notable in 1977-81, increased during the period 1982-86. Possible causal factors could be linked to the presence of primary health care in the Tabi region. Although very limited, the care changed elementary rules of hygiene. Moreover, comparison between villages point to the important role of the quality and quantity of available water in relation to child mortality levels.
对马里多贡族中约5000人的一小部分人口的死亡率进行了分析。他们被分为四个不同的群体，每个群体由三到四个村庄组成。针对1977 - 1981年和1982 - 1986年这两个五年期估算了调整生命表。首先为全体人口计算这些表格，然后为两个人口最密集的地块计算。死亡率非常高。然而，这两个地区的死亡率有所不同。这种差异在1977 - 1981年就已显著，在1982 - 1986年期间进一步加大。可能的因果因素可能与塔比地区存在初级卫生保健有关。尽管这种保健非常有限，但它改变了基本的卫生规则。此外，村庄之间的比较表明，可用水的质量和数量对于儿童死亡率水平起着重要作用。
