Q

It is used to describe the relationship between two (2) numerical quantities or measure of events without taking particular considerations to the time and place.

These quantities need not necessarily represent the same entities, although the unit measure must be the same for both numerator and denominator of the ration.

Q

shows rates of dying in specific population group

A

9
Q

the rate of dying due to specific cause.

A

Cause-of-Death Rate

10
Q

a measure of one mortality from all cause which may result in a decrease in population.

A

Crude Death Rate

10
Q

Formula on getting “Cause-of-Death Rate”

A

Number of deaths in a certain cause in a calendar year/Midyear population * 1000

11
Q

shows the numerical relationship between death from a cause (or group of cause), age (or groups of age) etc. and the total number of deaths from all causes in all ages taken together.

A

Proportionate Mortality rate

 Not a measurement of risk of dying.

11
Q

it measures the risk of dying from causes related to pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium.

A

Maternal Mortality Rate

 It is an index of obstetrical care needed and received by the women in a community.

11
Q

Formula in getting “Infant Mortality Rate”

A

Deaths under one year of age/Number of live births * 1000

11
Q

it measures the risk of dying during the first year of life.

A

Infant Mortality Rate

It is a good index of the general health condition of community since it reflects the changes in the environmental and medical conditions of the community.

11
Q

measures the risk of dying on the first month of life.

A

Neonatal Mortality Rate

  • May serve as index of the effects of prenatal care and obstetrical management of the newborn.
11
Q

Formula on getting “Proportionate Mortality rate”

A

Number of deaths from a particular cause/Total deaths * 100

12
Q

measures the deaths among individual in the age group of 50 and above.

A

Swaroops Index

 The higher the rate, the better is the health status of the population.

13
Q

Formula on getting “Swaroops Index”

A

Number of deaths among those 50 years and over/Total deaths * 100

14
Q

index of the killing power of a disease.

 It is influenced by incomplete reporting and poor morbidity data
