Comhealth

is defined as an official and periodic when the census is being taken.

census

will describe the ease by which a communicable disease will be transmitted from one host to another susceptible host. This is described by dividing the number of persons in a household with a number of rooms used by the family for sleeping

crowding index

A measure of one characteristics of the natural growth or increase of a population. Indicates the number of live births occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear.

crude birth rate

A measure of one mortality from all causes which may result in a decrease of a population

crude death rate

these rates are referred to the total living population. It must be presumed that the total population was exposed to the risk of the occurrence of the ratio.

crude or general rates

to the permanent disappearance of all evidence of life at any time after live birth has taken place (postnatal cessation of vital function without capability of resuscitation).

death

is made up of two-word Demos and Graph. refers to the overall study of population. is the science which deals with the study of the human population size, composition and distribution in space.

demography

ompares the number of economically dependent with the economically productive group in the population.

dependecy ratio

is the branch of medicine that investigates human populations to determine the causes and dissemination of diseases that impact different groups over a specific time frame. It also aids in developing control methods to contain the spread of disease.

epidemiology

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.

epidemiology

refers to death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction of a product of conception from its mother, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy

fetal death

Measures pregnancy wastage. Death of the product of conception prior to complete expulsion, irrespective of duration of pregnancy. The ratio of fetal deaths per 1000 births (births plus fetal deaths)

fetal death rate

is a way of measuring specified health characteristics in a given population.

health indicator

Measures the frequency of occurrence of the phenomenon during a given period of time. Deals only with new cases.

incidence rate

represents the average number of years remaining to a person who survives to the beginning of a given age or age interval (PSA).

life expentancy

a complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception, irrespective of the duration of the pregnancy, which after such separation, breathes or shows any other evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached; each product of such a birth is considered liveborn.

live birth

is a special contract of permanent union between a man and a woman entered into in accordance with law for the establishment of conjugal and family life.

marriage

divides the population into 2 equal parts. -So, if it is said to be 19 years old it means half of the population belongs to 19 years old and above while the other half belongs to below 19 years old.

median age

is the state of being symptomatic or unhealthy for a disease or condition. It is usually represented or estimated using prevalence or incidence.

morbidity

refers to having a disease or a symptom of disease, or to the amount of disease within a population

morbidity

is simply the difference between the number of births and the number of deaths occurring in a population in a specified period of time.

natural increase

The total number of inhabitants of a given area or country. In sampling, the population may refer to the units from which the sample is drawn, not necessarily the total population of people. (CDC)

population

educational level, then the population composition is being described

population

will determine how congested the place is and has implications in terms of the adequacy of basic health services present in the community. It can be computed by dividing the number of people living in a given land area.

population density

allows the nurse to make comparisons about population changes overtime. It helps the nurse rationalized the types of health programs or interventions which are going to be provided for the community.

population size

Measures the proportion of the population which exhibits a particular disease at a particular time.

prevalance rate

shows the relationship between vital event and those persons exposed to the occurrence of said event, within a given area and during a specified unit of time.

rate

is the difference the Crude Birth Rate and the Crude Death occurring in a population in a specified period of time.

rate of natural increase

It is used to describe the relationship between two (2) numerical quantities or measures of events without taking particular considerations to the time or place.

ratio

Instead of a census, demographic information can still be collected from a sample of a given population.

sample survey

the nurse computes for the sex ratio

sex composition

Describes more accurately the risk of exposure start any classes or groups to a particular disease.

specific rates of mortality

Is the percentage of the death aged 50 years or older. Its inverse represents the percentage of untimely deaths (those who died younger than 50 years

swaroops index

simply illustrates the proportion of the people living in urban compared to the rural areas.

urbal rural distribution

refers to the systematic study of vital events such as births, illnesses, marriages, divorces/separations and deaths.

vital statistics

measures the number of people that are added to the population for a year here good

Absolute Increase per year

A measurable characteristic that describes: the health of a population (e.g., life expectancy, mortality, disease incidence or prevalence, or other health states) (CDC). May be defined for a specific population, place, political jurisdiction, or geographic area.

Health indicators

It measures the risk of dying from causes related to pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium

Maternal mortality rate

Two Method of Measuring the Population Size:

Natural increase Rate of Natural Increase

Measures the risk of dying the 1st month of life The ratio of neonatal deaths per 1000 live births Number

Neonatal Mortality rate

the actual difference between the two census counts expressed in percent relative to the population size made during an earlier census.

Relative increase

Such that collected by the civil registrar's office deal with recording of vital events in the community.

Resgistration system

Population composition

Sex composition Age conposition Sex and Age composition

is the statistical study of human populations. It encompasses the study of the size, structure, and distribution of these populations, and spatial and/or temporal changes in them in response to birth, migration, aging, and death.

Demography

Measures the risk of dying during the 1st year of life.

Infant mortality rate
