Paper abstract bibtex One of the important goals for sustainable development imposed by the United Nations is to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for the people of all ages. The goal placed a target; that is, to reduce the global matemal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births and reduce under-five mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1000 live births in every country. However, the length of the preceding birth interval is one of the major determinants of infant and early childhood mortality. In order to identify the socioeconomic and demographic determinants of preceding birth interval among married women in Bangladesh, this study considered a secondary dataset taken from the national representative survey Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2014. At first, the Log-rank test is implemented for scrutinizing the association between the length of preceding birth intervals and different socioeconomic and demographic variables. After that, the unadjusted and adjusted Cox proportional hazard regressions are applied separately to analyze the data. The overall mean duration of the birth interval was 58 months (median 52 months) among the surveyed women, almost one-third (30.5%) of the respondents having subsequent birth within 36 months. The results from unadjusted and adjusted Cox proportional hazard model examined that number of living children, the status of current contraceptive use, respondent's employment status, husband's age, husband's educational level, and wealth index were identified as significant determinants for increasing the length of birth intervals of currently married women in Bangladesh. It also found that women's birth intervals of Chattogram and Sylhet division had significantly (p<0.01) sorter birth intervals compared to other regions of the country. Hence, the organization who are concerned about women's birth intervals in Bangladesh should be taken an action on the mentioned determinants.
