Nesstar Publisher Brian Houle Demographic Surveillance V2 Mortality [N01.224.935.698] Cause of Death [N01.224.935.698.100] Life Expectancy [N01.224.935.464] This study contributes evidence documenting the continued decline in all-cause mortality and changes in the cause of death distribution over time in four developing country populations in Africa and Asia. We present levels and trends in age-specific mortality (all-cause and cause-specific) from four demographic surveillance sites: Agincourt (South Africa), Navrongo (Ghana) in Africa; Filabavi (Vietnam), Matlab (Bangladesh) in Asia. We model mortality using discrete time event history analysis. This study illustrates how data from INDEPTH Network centers can provide a comparative, longitudinal examination of mortality patterns and the epidemiological transition. Health care systems need to be reconfigured to deal simultaneously with continuing challenges of communicable disease and increasing incidence of non-communicable diseases that require long-term care. In populations with endemic HIV, long-term care of HIV patients on ART will add to the chronic care needs of the community.

Transitions_V4.NSDstat This dataset has been built using data from 4 demographic surveillance sites: Matlab, Agincourt, Navrongo, and Filabavi. Data available include sex, age, time, survival status and cause of death for those who died for each individual observed. Cause of death information comes from physician coded verbal autopsy interviews and is collapsed into 3-4 categories that vary by site (excluding indeterminate causes). The data include one observation for each observed person-year lived by an individual, defining time-varying covariates at the beginning of the person-year. The time periods available vary by site. 7192226 11 Nesstar 200801 V2 Sequential record nr 7192226 0 Anonymised individual identifier 7192226 0 1 796633 398190.416 229925.288 Anonymised individual identifier DSS site indicator 7192226 0 INDEPTH HDSS Centre contibuting the data 0 Matlab 4120472 1 Agincourt 1045993 2 Navrongo 1600536 3 Filabavi 425225 Sex indicator 7192226 0 Is this individual male 0 No 3681131 1 Yes 3511095 indicator if dies in that person-year 7192226 0 0 No 7120227 1 Yes 71999 age in years 7192226 0 0 1051 25.764 20.178 Age in years at the start of the person year of observation Year indicator 7192226 0 1987 2009 1998.762 5.597 Year of observation age in 10yr groups, 0-4 5-9 10+ 7192226 0 0 80 22.102 19.442 Age in 10 year age groups, except for those under 10 where the age groups are in five year intervals 0 0-4yrs 909828 5 4-9yrs 911661 10 10-19yrs 1666593 20 20-29yrs 1069381 30 30-39yrs 858797 40 40-49yrs 686006 50 50-59yrs 508830 60 60-69yrs 352765 70 70-79yrs 172907 80 80+yrs 55458 age in 5yr groups, 0-4 5-9 10-14 7192226 0 0 85 23.813 20.136 Age group in five year intervals, all those older than 85 are included in the 85yr category 0 909828 5 911661 10 905969 15 760624 20 581489 25 487892 30 445143 35 413654 40 369672 45 316334 50 268762 55 240068 60 198280 65 154485 70 106158 75 66749 80 33598 85 21860 5-year calendar periods 7192226 0 5 year calendar periods starting 1985 up to 2009 1 1985-89 581400 2 1990-94 1065380 3 1995-99 2004816 4 2000-04 2252129 5 2005-09 1288501 Cause of death indicator, DSS-varying 7168421 23805 0 Survives 7120227 1 Communicable 21020 2 HIV/TB 1544 3 Malaria 4257 4 Noncommunicable 17232 5 Injuries 4141 Sysmiss 23805
