    The evolving demographic and health transition in four low- and middle-income countries: Evidence from four sites in the INDEPTH Network of longitudinal health and demographic surveillance systems
    (Public Library of Science, 2016) Bawah, A.; Houle, B.; Alam, N.; Razzaque, A.; Streatfield, P.K.; Debpuur, C.; Welaga, P.; Oduro, A.; Hodgson, A.; Tollman, S.; Collinson, M.; Kahn, K.; Toan, T.K.; Phuc, H.D.; Chuc, N.T.K.; Sankoh, O.; Clark, S.J.
    This paper 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.
