Question

3. In 2015, the following was true about CountyA There were 10,580 women of childbearing age (age 15-44) The total population of the county was 22.450 There were 965 live births, 2 maternal deaths, and 4 infant deaths There were 780 total deaths among all causes that year a. What was the infant mortality rate? (per 1,000) b. What was the maternal mortality rate? (per 1,000) c. What was the general fertility rate? (per 1,000) d. What was the crude birth rate? (per 1.000) e. What was the crude death rate? (per 1,000) f. What was the proportional mortality ratio for maternal deaths? g. What proportion of the population, expressed as a percentage, are women of childbearing age?

Explanation / Answer

a) The infant mortality rate (per 1000) is given by :

IMR = (No. of infant deaths) / (No. of live births) * 1000

IMR = (4/965)*1000 = 4.1451

b) The maternal mortality rate (per 1000) is given by :

MMR = (No. of maternal deaths) / (No. of live births) * 1000

=> MMR = 2/965 * 1000 = 2.0725

c) The general fertility rate (per 1000) is given by :

GFR = (No. of live births) / (No. of women of childbearing age) * 1000

GFR = (965/10580)*1000 = 91.2098

d) The crude birth rate (per 1000) is given by :

CBR = (No. of live births)/(total population of the county) * 1000

CBR = (965/22450) * 1000 = 42.9844

e) The crude death rate (per 1000) is given by :

Crude Death Rate = (No. of deaths)/(total population of the county) * 1000

Crude Death Rate = (780/22450) * 1000 = 34.7439

f) The proportional mortality ratio for maternal deaths :

PMR for maternal deaths = (No. of maternal deaths)/(Total No. of deaths)

PMR for maternal deaths = 2/780 = 0.0025641  

g) Proportion of population of childbearing age = (No. of women of childbearing age)/(Total population of the county)

=>Proportion of population of childbearing age = 10580/22450 = 0.471269 = 47.1269%
