[Medico-demographic and socio-hygienic aspects of infant mortality and its causative factors].
An analysis is made of the current level and regional peculiarities of infant mortality in the Kazakh SSR. It was found that despite considerable decline of infant mortality it still remains one of the urgent problems of social hygiene and public health organization. Infant mortality causes great socio-economic damage to the society reducing by 2.2-3.6 percent the participation of each generation in the process of public production. Taking into account that the deceased do not participate in the process of public production each case of infant mortality causes a damage amounting to 139.8 thousand roubles to the society. Among factors stipulating regional peculiarities of infant mortality the most important is the level of socio-economic development of individual territories. The latter requires a comprehensive approach to the fulfilment of tasks targeted at the reduction of mortality among children of the first year of life.
