Modelling determinants, impact, and space-time risk of age-specific mortality in rural South Africa: integrating methods to enhance policy relevance.

The temporal trend terms included in each multivariable model confirmed the significant increase in mortality across all age-groups over the study period both linearly and by period ( Table 3 ). Major risk factors for age-specific mortality Infants: maternal death in the infant's first year (especially due to HIV/TB), higher number of cumulative household deaths, no breastfeeding, and previous birth interval less than 1 year emerged as highly significant risk factors for all-cause infant mortality ( Table 3 ).
