Q

It is defined as branch of biometry which deals with data and the law of human mortality, morbidity and demography‖. These are collected, compiled and then analyse.

A

Vital Statistics

17
Q

the total process of collecting, compiling and publishing demographic, economic and social data pertaining at a specified time or times, to all persons in a country or delimited territory. It has ten years interval

A

Census

18
Q

(in fact, whether by right or not) - the method is to list all persons present in the household or other living quarters at midnight of the census day or all who passed the night there.

A

De facto census

19
Q

(by right) - all persons who usually live in the household are listed on the form whether they are present or not. Visitors who have a usual residence elsewhere are excluded from the listing but are counted at their usual residence.

A

De jure census

20
Q

each individual is enumerated separately and characteristics of each person are recorded separately. The census covers a precisely defined territory and includes every person present or residing within its scope. defined reference period. q The census is taken at regular intervals.

A

Modern census

21
Q

These are used when these changes cannot be measured directly, as for example health or nutritional status. If measured sequentially over time they can indicate direction and speed of change and serves to compare different areas and groups of people at the same moment in time.

A

Health Indicators

22
Q

They should actually measure what they are supposed to measure

A

Valid

23
Q

The answers should be the same if measured by different people in similar circumstances.

A

Reliable

24
Q

They should be sensitive in the situation concerned

A

Sensitive

25
Q

They should reflect changes only in the situation concerned

A

Specific

26
Q

They should have the ability to obtain data needed

A

Feasible

27
Q

They should contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon

A

Relevant

28
Q
  • Can be used for perinatal, neonatal, child, maternal and other more specific variables
  • Crude death rate, cause-specific death rate, proportionate mortality, death-to-case ratio, neonatal mortality rate, post-neonatal mortality rate, infant mortality rate, maternal mortality rate
A

Mortality Indicators

29
Q

Incidence proportion/attack rate/ risk, secondary attack rate, incidence rate/person time rate, point prevalence, and period prevalence.

A

Morbidity Indicators

30
Q

No of days of restricted activity, bed disability rate, work/days lost within a specific period

A

Event Type Indicators

31
Q
  • Limitation of mobility
  • Limitation of activity
A

Person Type Indicator

32
Q
  • Low birth weight, under weight (weight for age), stunting (height for age), total goiter age, iodized salt coverage, vitamin A deficiency, iron deficiency anemia (pregnant women), iron deficiency anemia (pre-school children)
A

Nutritional Status Indicators

33
Q
  • Healthcare workers per 10,000 patients
  • Physicians, nurses, midwives, dentists, pharmacists (and of course medical technologists/clinical laboratory scientists)
A

Healthcare Delivery Indicators

34
Q
  • Actual coverage expressed as the proportion of people in need of a service who actually receive it in a given period, usually a year. Utilization rates give some indication of the care needed by a population, and therefore the health status of the population.
  • A relationship exists between utilization of health care services and health needs and status.
A

Utilization Rates

35
Q
  • Fatigue, sleep impairment, GHQ score.
  • General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) consists of 12 items, each assessing the severity of a mental problem over the past few weeks using a 4-point scale (from 0 to 3)
A

Social and Mental Health Indicators

36
Q
  • These Indicators reflect the quality of physical and biological environment in which diseases occur and in which people live.
A

Environmental Indicators

37
Q
  • These indicators do not directly measure health. These are of importance in interpretation of indicators of health care.
  • Urban population (%), % living in formal dwelling, serious crime rate per 100,000, contribution to GDP (%), unemployment rate (%), gini index (for income inequality)
A

Socioeconomic Indicators

38
Q
  • Policy on: physical environment and ecology; socio-economic environment; lifestyle, behavior and risk factors; genetic endowment; and health system.
A

Health Policy Indicators

39
Q
  • Income and job, housing conditions, health, education, environmental quality, personal security, civic engagement, work-life balance, infrastructure and services, mobility, and culture and leisure.
