Some Factors Influencing the Mortality of Under-fives in a Rural Area of Kenya, a multivariate analysis

J. B. KUNÉ*

*Formerly at the Royal Tropical Institute, Amsterdam, now at the University of Amsterdam

This paper deals with the impact of a number of environmental factors on the health status of children below five years of age in Machakos Project area, Machakos District, Eastern Province, Kenya. Mortality is used as a measure. The observational period was from April 1974 till April 1976. The estimation procedures were carried out by probit analysis.

It appears that mother's education, stable family relationships and child's sleeping conditions had a significant influence on the mortality of the underfives under study.
