It describes the basic child and adult mortality indicators that can be derived from these surveys and the different approaches possible to calculate estimates of these indicators. (...) While not strictly a rate, the arithmetic difference is used by convention for simplicity because in practice there is almost no difference between a rate calculated as the probability of dying between age 1 month and age 1 year and the arithmetic difference between the infant mortality rate and the neonatal mortality rate. Adult mortality indicators:  Adult mortality to age 60 (45q15): the probability of dying between exact ages 15 and 60 years;  Adult mortality to age 50 (35q15): the probability of dying between exact ages 15 and 50 years. The age of 15 years is generally used as the starting point for adult mortality estimates as it is roughly the age at which declining childhood mortality risks transition to increasing adult mortality risks (Hill, 2003).

  Adult Mortality in the Developing World:

He suggests a two-stage process, by which the GB method is applied first to estimate any change in census coverage, and the SEG method is then applied to data after adjusting the census numbers for possible coverage change. Sibling Survival Analogous to the use of a birth history to measure infant and child mortality is the use of a sibling history (essentially the birth history of the respondent’s mother) to measure adult mortality. (...) Comparisons with other sources suggest that sibling survival tends to underestimate adult mortality (Stanton et al., 1997). (...) There can be no doubt, however, that the epidemic has had dramatic effects on adult mortality in certain populations. Timæus (2003) has used regression models with data on survival of siblings from Demographic and Health Surveys to document very large increases in adult mortality in a number of African populations.
