25
It is the annual number of live births per 1,000 population
crude birth rate
26
Numerator: number of live births observes in a population during reference period Denominator: number of person-years lived by the population during the same period
crude birth rate
27
It is called "crude" because it does not take into account age or sex differences among the population
crude birth rate
28
More than 30/1,000 is considered high, rates of less than 18/1,000 are considered low
crude birth rate
29
Measures the rate of deaths for every 1,000 people in a given population
crude death rate
30
Rates below 10 are considered low, while rates above 20/1,000 are considered high
crude death rate
31
It is the number of resident newborns in a specified geographic area dying under one year of age divided by the same geographic area
infant mortality rate
32
This varies considerably based on maternal age
infant mortality
33
Rates are highest among mothers under age 20 and lowest among mothers aged between 30-34 years old
infant mortality rate
34
Measures the risk of dying from causes related to pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium
maternal mortality rate
35
It is the mortality rate from a specified cause for a population.
cause-specific mortality rate
36
Numerator: number of deaths attributed to a specific cause Denominator: size of the population at the midpoint of the time period
cause-specific mortality rate
37
First cause of mortality
ischaemic heart disease
38
Second cause of mortality
cerebrovascular disease

42
First leading cause of morbidity
acute respiratory infection
43
Second leading cause of morbidity
acute lower respiratory tract infection and pneumonia
44
Third leading cause of morbidity
bronchitis/bronchiolitis
45
Refers to the number of years a person can expect to live
Life expectancy
46
It is based on an estimate of the average age that members of a particular population group will be when they die.
life expectancy
47
Current life expectancy for Philippines in 2021
71.41 years
48
Intended to be a set of indicators of basic demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, health status, health risk factors, and health resource use, which are relevant to most communities
health profile
49
It is a comprehensive compilation of information about a community
community health profile
50
The date in a profile reflects the health of a given community from many different angles
community health profile
51
It can include measurements of illness or disease
health indicators
52
It can be divided into those that directly measure health phenomena and indirect measures
global health indicators
53
2 divisions of global health indicatord
proximal and distal indicators
54
12 determinants of health
income and social status social support networks education and literacy employment/working conditions social environments physical environments personal health practices and coping skills health child development biology and genetics endowment health services gender culture

demographic profile, health profile
56
Statistical data about the characteristics of a population, such as age, gender, and income of the people within the population
demographics
57
When the census assembles data about people's ages and genders.
assembling information about demographics
58
It is the study of the distribution and determinants of health related states and events in specified populations
epidemiology
59
It is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specified populations and the application of this study to the control of health problems (CDC)
epidemiology
60
It measure the risk of illness or death in an exposed population compared to that risk in an identical, unexposed population
epidemiological studies
61
Five major tasks of epidemiology in public health practice
public health surveillance field investigation analytic studies evaluation linkages
62
Refers to the progression of a disease process in an individual over time, in the absence of treatment
natural history of disease
63
Natural history of disease timeline
stage of: susceptibility subclinical disease clinical disease recovery, disability, or death
64
This is best represented diagrammatically
epidemiological triad
65
This represents the interaction between an agent, host, or persons and environment or place within a specific time dimension.
epidemiological triad
66
This can be applied to non-infectious diseases where the agent could be 'unhealthy behaviors, unsafe practices, or unintended exposures to hazardous substanced'
