| Abstract |
Within the framework of the Agricultural Health Study (AHS) cohort, this study examined the causes of mortality among 21,360 children in Iowa and North Carolina between 1975 and 1998. Information for children provided by mothers on self-administered questionnaires was matched to state death registry data. Data on farm and family characteristics were provided by parents in cohort enrolment questionnaires. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated, using state mortality data to generate expected deaths. Logistic regression was used to examine parent, child and farm characteristics associated with injury mortality. Findings are discussed. |
