Question

The following vital statistics are demonstrated within a population:

Total mid-year population = 25,000.

Population 65+ years old = 2,500.

Number of live births = 300.

Total deaths (for all causes) = 250.

Deaths in infants less than 1 year old = 3.

Deaths in persons 65+ years old = 75.

Complete the following calculations:

Calculate the birth rate per 1,000.

Calculate the mortality rate per 1,000.

Calculate the infant mortality rate per 1,000.

Calculate the mortality rate for 65+ years old per 1,000.

given

Total mid-year population = 25,000.

Population 65+ years old = 2,500.

Number of live births = 300.

Total deaths (for all causes) = 250.

Deaths in infants less than 1 year old = 3.

Deaths in persons 65+ years old = 75

Birth rate per 1000:

=(number of births) x 1000 / estimated population at mid-year.

=300*1000/25000

=300000/25000

=12

Birth rate per 1000 is 12

The infant mortality rate per 1,000.

=( number of deaths to live born infants under one year age)/(number of births)*(1000)

=(3/300)(1000)

=(0.01)(1000)

=10

The infant mortality rate per 1,000 is 10

The mortality rate for 65+ years old per 1,000.

=( number of deaths to live born 65+ years)/(number of births)*(1000)
=(75/300)

=0.25(1000)

= 250

The mortality rate for 65+ years old per 1,000. is 250
