Fertility Rate 1. CBR (Crude birth rate)- relative pop due to births Total number of births in a calendar year CBR= Birth x 1000 Pop ex. 25.8= CBR There are 26 births in every 1000 pop

2. General Fertility Rate (GFR) - true fertility rate specific segments of pop that is fertile GFR= ________Birth___________ x 1000 Pop of women (15 to 44 yo) Ex. GRF=32 There are 32 births in every woman in 15-44 Mortality Rates 1.Crude Death Rate ____ x 1000 Decrease in pop due to death CDR= death x 1000 Pop Ex. CDR= 6 there are 6 in every 1000 pop 2. Specific Mortality Rate- can apply to any pop grp SMR = death from or particulare grp x 1000 Pop of that grp a. SMR (males) = death (males) x 1000 pop of males b. SMR (females) = death of females 15-44 pop of females 15-44 Infant Mortality Rate: IMR= Death 0 -1 year x 1000 Births Neonatal Mortality Rate: NMR= deaths 0-28 days x 1000 Births Post Neonatal Mortality Rate: PNMR = deaths 28 days to 1 year x 1000 Births NMR + PNMR = IMR Neonatal deaths + Post neonatal deaths= Infant deaths Ex. Birth 200 NMR= 20 Death 28 to 1 NMR + PNMR = IMR 20 + 10 = 30 (ANS) 2_ x 1000 = 1000 = 10 200 100 Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) MMR= death of women r/t pregnancy, delivery, & puerperium x 1000 Births Ex. IMR = 30 There are 30 infant deaths in every 1000 births NMR = 20 There are 20 neonatal deaths in every 1000 births PNMR = 10

MMR = .92 Proportionate Mortality Rate = PMR ( for any grp) PMR= death from a particular grp x 100 total death Ex. 52% PMR of males = deaths of males x 100 total deaths In every 100 death, 52 are males

PMR = deaths 0-1 x 100 0.1 total deaths PROPORTIONATE MORTALITY INDICATOR A. Swaroops Index = SI SI = death of 50 yrs & up x 100 total deaths The SI, the better the situation is! B.
