Reproductive health indicators
- Total fertility rate
- Contraceptive prevalence (%)
Total fertility rate -
Total number of children a woman
would have by the end of her reproductive period if she
experienced the currently prevailing age-specific fertility rates
throughout her childbearing life.
isreal has no 1 fertility rate of developed countries
mexico 2nd
factors
- Educational status of woman
- Occupational status of woman
- Religious and cultural reasons
- Ecological factors.
- Social economic factors
- IVF
- in bg 2.5%
- 4 procedures are covered by public funds for those uder 43
- age limit is menopause
- age limit for donors is 51
one child policy ended in 2
- Less people going into work force. Ratio of females to males due to more males.
Disparity between males and females.
People were exempt such as national minorities.
Contraceptive prevalence (%)
- Percentage of women
of reproductive age (15-49) who are using (or whose
partner is using) a contraceptive method at a particular
point in time.
Socioeconomic and Demographic Indicators
- Total population (x 1000)
- Population growth rate (%)
- Crude birth rate (per 1000)
- Infant mortality rate (per 1000)
- Neonatal mortality rate
- Early neonatal mortality rate (per 1000)
- Late neonatal mortality rate (per 1000)
- Post-neonatal mortality rate
- Crude death rate (per 1000)
- Natural increase
- Total increase
- Total population (x 1000)
- De facto population in a
country, area or region. Figures are presented in thousands.
- Population growth rate (%)
- Average exponential rate
of growth of the population over a given period. It is
calculated as ln(Pt/P0)/t where t is the length of the
period. It is expressed as a percentage.
- Crude birth rate (per 1000)
Number of births over
a given period divided by the person-years lived by the
population over that period. It is expressed as number of
births per 1000 population.
no of births /no of people in pop. in given area at given time x 1000
= birth rate per mil
ireland had a baby boom
uk has high birth rate
for long term predictions the fertility rate is prefered
- Infant mortality rate (per 1000)
no of deaths of infants
dying between birth and exact age 1. in a given period/ 1000 live births in the same period
useful for indicationg quality of h.c services
factors influencing IMR
- qual and access to h.c
- age of mother = below 20 and 40-49 have higher IMR a
- decreases after 2nd and increases after 3rd
- larger birrth interval min 2 ideal is 4
- living conditions
divded into
- prenatal: till birth
- post natal: after birth
- neonatal 0-28
- early0-7 late8-28
- postneonatal 28 days-1yr
- neonatal 0-28
- perinatal22weeks gestation-7 day
causes of neonatal mortality (high in bg)
- low bw, premature birth, difficult labour
- birth trauma, congenital anamolies, h.lytic disease
causes of postneonatal mortality
- diarrhoeal diseases
- acute respiratory infections
- malnutrition
- accidentss
- Neonatal mortality rate
– The number of deaths in the
neonatal period during a given time period per 1000 live
births during the same time period.
- Early neonatal mortality rate (per 1000)
- Deaths at 0-6 days after live birth
Late neonatal mortality rate (per 1000)
- Deaths between days 7-27 after live birth
- Post-neonatal mortality rate
– The number of deaths
after 28 days up to, but not including, one year of age
- Crude death rate (per 1000)
- Number of deaths
over a given period divided by the person-years lived by
the population over that period. It is expressed as
number of deaths per 1000.
no of deaths /no of people in pop. in given area at given time
x 1000
= death rate per mil
- age related: infant mortality rate & fetal losses
- cause relates: diseases, injuries, suicide, homicide
- life expectancy ( sex and age related)
in europe highest is in Eastern europe. lowest is in turkey d/2 young population
factors influencing death rate
- standard of living
- quality and access to health care
- age & gender
- Natural increase
- The difference between the number
of live born children and the number of deaths for a
given area in the calendar year.
doesn’t take migration into account unlike total increase.
negative natural increase is compensated for by positive migration
- Total increase
- The sum of natural increase and net
migration for a given area in the calendar year.
