Table 6.9 shows the confidence intervals of the probabilities of dying between 15-49 yearsand 15-59 years of age for all female deaths, and for non-pregnancy related female and male deaths. Thetable indicates that there is no significant difference between the probabilities of dying by zone. There isalso no significant difference between the probabilities of dying as calculated from the sibling history andthe household death roster between 15-59 years since the probabilities of dying from Table 6.3 are withinthe confidence intervals shown in this table.Table 6.9 Probabilities of mortality and confidence intervalsWomen’s and men’s probabilities of mortality per 1,000 and 95 percent confidence intervals for0-6 years prior to survey from sibling history, Afghanistan 2010Probabilityof mortalityWOMEN35q 15 45q 15ConfidenceintervalProbabilityof mortalityConfidenceintervalAfghanistan 63 54-71 125 95-155Afghanistan (excluding the South Zone) 62 51-73 122 86-157South zone 64 48-80 134 76-193WOMEN NON-PREGNANCY RELATEDAfghanistan 39 33-45 103 73-133Afghanistan (excluding the South Zone) 40 33-48 101 66-136South zone 37 25-49 108 50-167MENAfghanistan 71 63-79 156 132-181Afghanistan (excluding the South Zone) 67 58-75 153 123-183South zone 79 63-96 160 118-202Adult Mortality | 117
