| description |
Data from three rounds of nationally
representative health surveys in India are used to assess
the impact of selective mortality on children s
anthropometrics. The nutritional status of the child
population was simulated under the counterfactual scenario
that all children who died in the first three years of life
were alive at the time of measurement. The simulations
demonstrate that the difference in anthropometrics due to
selective mortality would be large only if there were very
large differences in anthropometrics between the children
who died and those who survived. Differences of this size
are not substantiated by the research on the degree of
association between mortality and malnutrition. The study
shows that although mortality risk is higher among
malnourished children, selective mortality has only a minor
impact on the measured nutritional status of children or on
that status distinguished by gender. |
