Crude Birth Rate

A measure of one mortality from all causes which may result in a decrease population

Crude Death Rate

MEASURES THE RISK OF DYING FROM CAUSES RELATED TO PREGNANCY, CHILD BIRTH AND PUEPERIUM. IT IS A INDEX OF THE OBSTETRICAL CARE NEEDED AND RECEIVED BY THE WOMEN IN THE COMMUNITY

DESCRIBES MORE ACCURATELY THE RISK OF EXPOSURE OF CERTAIN CLASSES OR GROUPS TO PARTICULAR DISEASE. TO UNDERSTAND THE FORCES OF MORTALITY, THE RATE SHOULD BE MADE SPECIFIC PROVIDED THE DATA ARE AVAILABLE FOR BOTH THE POPULATION AND THE EVENT IN THEIR SPECIFICATIONS. SPECIFIC RATES RENDER MORE COMPARABLE RESULTS AND THUS REVEAL THE PROBLEMS OF PUBLIC HEALTH

In vital statistics, a rate shows the relationship between a vital event and those persons expose to the occurrence of said event, within a given area and during a specified unit of time. It is evident that the persons experiencing the event (the numerator) must come from the total population exposed to the risk of same event (the denominator)

It is used to describe the relationship between two numerical quantities or measures of the events without taking particular considerations to the time or place. These quantities needs not necessarily represent the same entities, although the unit of measurenmust be the same for both numerator and denominator of the ratio.

These rates refer to the total living population. It must be presumed that the total population was exposed to the risk of occurrence of the event.

Study Notes

Population Growth and Mortality Measures

Measures natural growth or population increase by evaluating characteristics that promote growth.
Assesses mortality from all causes to indicate potential population decrease.

Indicates risk of dying from complications related to pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium.
Serves as an index of obstetrical care accessibility and quality in the community.

Infant Mortality Rates

Evaluates the risk of dying during the first year of life; reflects general health and wellbeing of a community.
Analyzes mortality risk during the first month of life, providing insight into health conditions and medical services available.

Pregnancy Wastage Measurement

Quantifies pregnancy wastage; death of a conception product occurs before its complete expulsion, regardless of pregnancy duration.

Specific Mortality Rates

Describes risk exposure to particular diseases, enabling understanding of mortality forces.
Specific rates yield comparable results, aiding in identification of public health issues.

Epidemiological Investigations

Provides accurate measures of exposure risk and assists in public health investigations related to disease exposure.

Disease Killing Power Index

Measures the lethality of diseases; influenced by incomplete reporting and poor morbidity data.

Mortality in Older Adults

Focuses on mortality rates in individuals over 50 years old, highlighting specific health challenges faced by this age group.

Death Ratios and Relationships

Shows numerical relationships between deaths from certain causes, age groups, and total deaths across all ages.
Clarifies that these calculations are not measures of dying risk but provide contextual understanding of mortality patterns.

Vital Statistics Rates

Rates express relationships between vital events and populations exposed to those events; crucial for public health monitoring.
Assumes total population is at risk for occurrence of events, facilitating analysis through numerator and denominator relationship.

Descriptive Relationships between Quantities

Used to explain relationships between two numerical measures without considering time or place, fostering broader analytic comparisons.
Requires the same unit of measure for numerator and denominator to maintain accuracy in population data assessments.
