Application of statistical measures to vital events like births , deaths and common illnesses
Vital statistics
Commonly described in terms of its age and sex.
Population composition
Where is the vital statistics commonly collected?
civil registration
Refer to the list of information that would determine the health of a particular community
Health indicators
Common Health indicators used in public health
Birth
Death
Marriage
Migration
Common vital statistical indicators
fertility rates
mortality rates
morbidity rates
Events occurring to a specific group are related only to the affected segment of the population
Specific rates
Estimated population as of July 1 of a specified year
Midyear Population
This serves as a representative of the population for the whole year
Midyear Population
Complete expulsion or extraction from a mother of the fetus irrespective of whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached
Birth
Infant at some tome after birth breathes spontaneously and shows any other sign of life such as heartbeat, pulsation of the umbilical cord or definitive movement of voluntary muscles whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached

Vital Statistics
serves as an index of the health condition of the people in a community
Vital Statistics
Examines how many people got a certain disease in a specific population, at a specific geographical location during a specific time period
Morbidity
Refers to being dead due to some certain disease occurring in a year
Mortality
This measures how fast people are added to the population through births and a useful measure of population growth
Crude Birth Rate
This is used as an approximation of the risk of dying within the first year of life
Infant Mortality Rate
IMR can be further subdivided into
- neonatal mortality rate
- post neonatal mortality rate
considered as more valid than Crude Death rate when comparing of mortality experience in groups
Specific mortality rate
Reveals the rate of death in specific population of groups with specific characteristics such as age, sex, occupation, education and exposure to risk factors and combination of the above
Specific mortality rate
Death among individuals in the age group 50 and above
Swaroop’s index - low index = shorter life expectancy
An index of 15% in swaroop’s index means that
15% died at the age of 50 years and 85 % died before they reached the age of 50 years
The number of cases occurring in a defined population during a specific period of time
Incidence Rate
This measures the proportion of old and new existing cases of a disease
Prevalence Rate
Refers to the law on reporting of notifiable diseases
RA 3573
This law states hat reporting of any case of notifiable disease is required to the Disease intelligence center of the DOH.
RA 3573 - the law on reporting of notifiable diseases
Done through ocular survey or windshield survey

made up of series of questions for systemic collection of information, can be written or oral
Primary data - Survey
