Dentro das limitações impostas pelo sistema de coleta de dados de estatística vital em nosso meio foram apresentadas as taxas de mortalidade infantil para Salvador, onde vem se observando acentuado declínio, o qual decorre em grande parte da ampliação do sistema de abastecimento d'água à Capital. No interior há falta de dados mais precisos, sendo que mais de um terço dos óbitos ocorre sem assistência médica; predominam ali como causa de morte as doenças infecciosas e parasitárias. Conclui-se que a mortalidade infantil na Bahia está estreitamente ligada às condições ambientais e ao nível sócio-econômico das populações.
Within the limits of the system of collection of vital statistics in our milieu were presented Infant Mortality Rates for Salvador, there a steady decline is taking place, presumably due to improved water supply to the Capital of the State. Data in the interior of Bahia are unreliable since more than a third of infant deaths occur without medical care. There, the infections diseases are the leading cause of death. It is concluded that infant mortality in Bahia is closely related to the environmental conditions and to the socio-economic level of the population.
