Housing quality and child mortality in the rural philippines
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 July 2008
Summary
This study investigated factors influencing child survival to age 5 years for a rural farm sample in Iloilo Province, Philippines. Children from better quality housing were more likely to live to age 5 than were children from worse quality housing. The life expectancy at birth, indirectly estimated by the Brass method, was 63·4 years for children from worse quality housing and 69·9 years for children from better quality housing. The implications are explored.
