<p>Measuring fertility helps to understand reproductive trends and patterns in a population. Fertility is related to parity, which is the number of children born alive to a woman, and gravidity, which is the number of pregnancies a woman has had, whether or not they produce a live birth.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Collecting data on vital events helps to understand demographic characteristics of different populations at different points in time, which informs policy decisions related to healthcare, education, and resource allocation.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Fecundity refers to the physiological capacity to conceive, which is a fundamental aspect of fertility rates. Understanding fecundity is crucial for reproductive health services, as it informs the provision of contraception, fertility treatment, and prenatal care.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Measuring live birth rates helps to understand fertility trends and patterns in a population, which is closely related to mortality rates, as high fertility rates can impact infant and maternal mortality rates.</p> Signup and view all the answers
