17. Adult mortality Direct estimates of adult mortality were obtained from information collected in the sibling history. Maternal mortality is a subset of adult mortality. Estimates are for the period 1994-2000.

18. Adult mortality rates Mortality rate for men age 15-49 is 4.8 deaths per 1,000. Mortality rate for women age 15-49 is 3.5 deaths per 1,000.

19. Maternal mortality Maternal deaths are defined as any death that occurred: During pregnancy During childbirth Within 2 months after the birth or termination of a pregnancy.

20. Maternal mortality measurements For the period 1994-2000, 437 women died from maternal related causes per 100,000 live births (maternal mortality ratio). This ratio corresponds to a lifetime risk of dying from maternal causes of 1 in 50. Maternal deaths accounted for 18% of all deaths to women age 15-49.

21. Main findings on mortality One in 10 children does not survive to his/her first birthday. One in 8 children does not survive to his/her fifth birthday. Mortality levels seem to have increased slightly over the last decade. Rural children, those born of mothers with no education and those whose mother did not receive assistance at delivery have the highest risk of dying.

22. Wide geographic disparities in child survival chances persist in Cambodia: infant mortality is 38‰ in Phnom Penh and 65‰ in Kampong Thum as opposed to 139‰ in Pousat and 170‰ in Mondol Kiri/Rotanak Kiri. The pace and pattern of childbearing affects the probability of childhood death: children born of teenage mothers, those with a birth order of 7 or more and those born less than 2 years after their sibling have the highest risk of dying.

23. For the period 1994-2000, the maternal mortality ratio is 437 per 100,000 live births. Maternal deaths accounted for 18% of all deaths to women age 15-49
