Description:
Speaker: Amy O. Tsui, Professor, Department of Population, Family and Reproductive Health, Johns Hopkins University
Title: Life Course Effects of Risk Factors at Womens Birth on Reproductive Outcomes as Adults
About the Talk: This study investigates the relationship between risk factors at a woman's birth and her subsequent reproductive outcomes as an adult using a pseudo-panel approach. Birth cohorts are constructed with data from the Demographic and Health Surveys for 47 developing countries and linked over time to assess the effects of being born to a young or older mother, at high parity, or after a short preceding birth interval on the woman's risk of under-nutrition or short stature as an adult, having a small/low birth weight infant, or experiencing child mortality.
