- Abstract
Some social and economic factors related to breast-feeding durations in Tanzania are analysed using current status data taken from the 1991–92 Tanzanian Demographic and Health Survey. Proportional hazards and proportional odds models are estimated. The results show that breast-feeding durations vary according to the region of residence of the mother and child (and whether they are living in a rural or an urban area), the age of the mother at the time of the birth, the order of the birth, and the mother's religion.
