Literacy and Health Status in Developing Countries
TL;DR: The association of literacy and health has been reported repeatedly in analyses of the post World War II decline of mortality in developing countries and of mortality differentials within their populations.
Journal Article
Effect of investments in water supply and sanitation on health status: a threshold-saturation theory.
TL;DR: A preliminary attempt to validate this model using published data on sanitation level, life expectancy, and adult literacy rates, for 65 developing countries appears to provide preliminary support for the threshold saturation theory but further empirical validation is required before a quantitative predictive model can be developed.
Journal Article

TL;DR: The nutrition education programme was, however, more expensive to deliver than the capsule distribution programme, and high rates of participation for children in the supplementation programme were achieved quickly, and practices were slower to change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interrelation between health and population: Observations derived from field experiences
TL;DR: The objective is to illustrate a method of determining preferred activities at any given level of investment and the probable health effects of varying increases in the level of health expenditures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlates of life expectancy in less developed countries
TL;DR: The multivariate model showed that the sanitation variables began to appear as significant correlates of levels of life expectancy in the more recent time period, playing a larger role than level of income per capita.
