26
Q

3 Important Kinds of Rates

A

Natality (birth) rate
Morbidity (disease) rate
Mortality (fatality) rate

27
Q

– a measure of the natural growth or increase of a population.

A

Natality (birth) rate

28
Q

– a measure of the persons who became ill or are ill at a given time

A

Morbidity (disease) rate

29
Q

– A measure of mortality from all causes w/c result in a decrease of population

A

Mortality (fatality) rate

30
Q
  • More specific
  • Births are related to the segment of the
    population deemed capable of giving birth.
A

General Fertility Rate

31
Q

3 Important Types of Morbidity Rates

A

Incidence Rate
Prevalence Rate
Attack Rate

32
Q

– Measures the frequency of occurrence of the phenomenon during a given period of time
– New cases only
– The speed of new cases of a disease in the population

A

Incidence Rate

33
Q

– Measures the proportion of the population w/c exhibits
a particular disease at a particular time
– Deals with the total # number of cases (new & old)

A

Prevalence Rate

34
Q

– A more accurate measure of the risk of exposure
– Risk during an outbreak
Usually expressed for the entire epidemic period, from
the first to the last case

A

Attack Rate

35
Q

Different Mortality Rates:

A

Infant Mortality Rate
Maternal Mortality Rate

36
Q

= measures the risk of dying during the 1st year

A

Infant Mortality Rate

37
Q
  • risk of dying from causes related to pregnancy, childbirth & puerperium
  • Index of obstetrical care needed & received by
    community
A

Maternal Mortality Rate

38
Q

= pregnancy wastage

A

Fetal Death Rate

39
Q

= risk of dying the 1st month of life. A
good index of the effect of prenatal care & obstetrical management of newborn.

A

Neonatal Death Rate

40
Q

:
* Describes more accurately the risk of exposure of certain
classes or groups to a particular diseases.

problem of public health

A

SPECIFIC DEATH RATE

41
Q

:
* Describes more accurately the risk of exposure of certain
classes or groups to a particular diseases.
* Specific rates render more comparable & thus reveal the
problem of public health

A

SPECIFIC DEATH RATE

42

population over a period of time attributable to different
causes

    population over a period of time attributable to different
    causes
A

Proportionate Mortality Ratio

44
Q

  • The risk of dying from a disease in a time period (the duration of the disease)
A

Case Fatality Ratio

45
Q

A

Death-to-case Ratio

46
