ABSTRACT
Se realizó un análisis de los principales indicadores de fecundidad en la provincia de Sancti Spíritus durante el período 1977-1988. La estructura de la población se vió modificada pasando de relativamente joven a envejecida, dada por una disminución considerable del aporte porcentual de los niños y aumento en la contribución de los ancianos. Por su parte la estructura de la fecundidad indica una mayor concentración entre los 20 y 34 años de edad la cual aumenta con el tiempo. Las madres jóvenes presentan un comportamiento estable con una ligera reducción al concluir el período. En las mujeres de 35 años y más se ve disminuida la contribución a la fecundidad. En cuanto a la intensidad de la fecundidad por grupos de edad, se experimentó un marcado decrecimiento en los valores de las tasas, a excepción del grupo de 30-34 años que incrementó su cifra. La tasa global de fecundidad se redujo en un 27,63 por ciento en el año final con respecto del inicial.(AU)

PIP: Methodological aspects of the analysis of mortality using data from death registers are described. Consideration is also given to indirect methods of estimating mortality from inadequate data. Procedures to estimate infant, child, and adult mortality are mentioned, as well as procedures to calculate crude death rates and to evaluate the quality of available data sources.

PIP: The authors estimate premature mortality due to selected causes of death for different age groups, particularly at early ages, using an indicator of potential years of life lost by a population. Premature mortality in Cuba in 1981 is calculated by sex for 10 selected causes of death and for all causes. (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)^ieng

PIP: Abortion-related mortality in Cuba between 1979 and 1982 is examined. The data are from official sources and surveys on maternal mortality carried out in Havana, Holguin, and Cienfuegos provinces. Induced abortion is identified as the major cause of maternal mortality among those aged 20-34. Furthermore, mortality from this cause increased in relation to the number of abortions performed (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)^ieng

PIP: Trends in infant mortality in the Cuban province of Granma between 1977 and 1984 are analyzed. Consideration is given to causes of death, geographic factors, and timing of occurrence of death (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)^ieng

PIP: Infant and child mortality in the western provinces of Cuba is analyzed using methods developed by Brass and adapted by Trussell. Consideration is given to regional differences and to differences between rural and urban areas. (summary in ENG, FRE)^ieng

PIP: The effect of selected socio-demographic variables on maternal mortality from 1979 to 1982 in three Cuban provinces is investigated. The results indicate the importance of woman's age at pregnancy, educational status, and marital stability. Consideration is also given to causes of maternal mortality, and the impact of abortion is noted. (summary in ENG, FRE)^ieng

PIP: The author examines trends in perinatal mortality in selected countries over the past 10 years. Some international comparisons are made, particularly regarding the contrast between the progress made by industrialized countries in further reducing already low levels of perinatal mortality and the lack of progress in developing countries. The inadequacies of available data are noted, and the high rate of mortality decline in Cuba is discussed. (summary in ENG, FRE, GER, )^ieng

PIP: The author has studied the evolution of 2 fecundity measures, the gross rate of natality and the gross rate of reproduction. The 1st measure decreased 44.8% in the last year of the study (1978) and represented 95,826 less births. It is pointed out how this indicator has decreased in all provinces of the country which usually have high rates of fecundity. In order to establish comparisons among countries, the gross reproduction rate is used, and its evolution in 7 countries is observed during the 1970-78 period. The lower figures are registered in the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic (GDR). First, all figures of the period below 1 and with the steady decrease are reported, while the GDR shows a certain trend to the recovery of birth rate since 1976. Hungary has the most irregular behavior although the total birth rate again falls since 1976. Graphs from Cuba show a constant fall in fecundity levels which was interrupted only in 1971, until the decrease below 1 came in 1978. Cuba is the country that has the most sensible reduction of fecundity and has shown the most remarkable difference (0.89) between the initial and final rates during the period of analysis.
