Activity Worksheet: Rates and Ratios

Objectives:

1. To interpret and analyze fertility, mortality, and morbidity rates

Instruction:

1. Compute, interpret, and analyze the rates and ratios asked from the given Philippine data:
Philippine Data (2020)
Population: 108, 771, 978
Total Deaths: 404, 981
Total Number of Livebirths: 1,433, 557
TB Deaths: 27, 810 (source:
http://www.stoptb.org/resources/cd/PHL_Dashboard.html)
TB Cases: 599, 000 (http://www.stoptb.org/resources/cd/PHL_Dashboard.html)
Animal Bites: 618, 971
Number of deaths due to Rabies: 239
Neonatal deaths: 6, 404
Infant deaths: 10, 521
Maternal Deaths: 1, 013
Deaths 50 years and above: 9,000, 000 (hypothesized)

Rate or Ratio Compute Interpret Analyze (Implication to

health)

Cause of Death Rate/ 10,
000 pop (TB)
Cause of death from a
specified cause/ midyear
population x 1000 = 2781
The 2,781 out of 10,000
population died because of
TB.
The death rate of 2,781
caused by TB in the
midyear of 2020 implicates
that Tuberculusis is still
present at this times. This
data is high enough to be a
concern of the public
health.

Proportional Mortality
Ratio (TB)
Number of deaths from
particular case / total deaths
x 100 = 6.87
6.87% is the proportional
mortality ratio of the total
deaths of TB.
The data implicates high
proportional mortality ratio
caused by TB. It is high
enough to be concern of
public health.

Case Fatality Rate (Rabies) Number of deaths from a
= specified cause / Number of
cases of the same disease x
100 = 0.04 %
0.04% is the total of fatality
or death caused by rabies
with animal bites of
618,971.
It implicates low fatality
rate of rabies caused by
animal bites in year 2020.
However, prevention is still
needed to implement.
 (0.038)
Neonatal Mortality Rate= Deaths under one year of
age / number of live births
x 1000 = 4.47%
Maternal Mortality Rate= Number of deaths due to
pregnancy, delivery and
puerpuerium / number of
live births x 1000 = 0.71 %
Swaroop’s index Number of deaths among
those 50 years and over /
total deaths x 100 =
2,222.33
Crude Birth Rate Number of live births /
midyear population x 1000
= 13.8%
Crude death Rate (Number of deaths /
midyear population) x 1000
= 3.72%
Infant Mortality Rate (Deaths under one year of
age / number of live births)
x 1000 = 7.34%
The neonatal mortality rate
is 4.47% in year of 2020.
The maternal mortality rate
is 0.71% in year of 2020.
The total deaths among 5o
years and above is 2,222.33
in year 2020.
The crude birth rate of 108,
771, 978 population is
13.18%.
The crude death rate of 108,
771, 978 population is
3.72%
The infant immortality rate
in year of 2020 among
1,433,557 live births is
7.34%.
It implicates high neonatal
mortality rate. So, the
maternal and child program
at the public health or the
community should be
assessed.
It implicates high maternal
mortality rate. The data is
consistent with the neonatal
mortality rate so the
maternal and child
programs should be
assessed.
It implicates high death rate
among those 50 years and
above. This should be
normal and a good sign as
this would mean that people
in the community has
achieved long life
It implicates high crude
birth rate which could mean
a good sign since it may
indicates a higher live
births
It implicates high crude
death rate which is not good
in the public health. The
reason and etiology should
be assessed.
It implicates high infant
mortality rate. So, the
maternal and child program
at the public health or the
community should be
assessed.
