| Zusammenfassung: | Among the three major components of a closed birth interval, waiting
time to conception can somehow be managed with effective contraceptives
while gestation is universally constant in its duration; the duration
of postpartum amenorrhoea (PPA) varies in complex nature. The present
study aimed to investigate the proximate factors influencing the
duration of PPA. A community-based, cross-sectional study was conducted
in four valley districts of Manipur, India, during 1 August−31
December 2009, to analyze the differentials and determinants of
duration of PPA, applying the survival analysis technique. In total,
1,225 ever-married women were selected through two-stage cluster
sampling. The median duration of PPA was 5.7 months. Among the 11
explanatory variables of interest, only three variables-place of
