Vital Statistical Methods

1) Crude Death Rate (CDR) is the number of deaths per 1,000 mid-year total population in a given geographical area during a year. It helps calculate the dying probability of a randomly selected person. 2) Specific Death Rate considers deaths for a specific class like an age group. It is considered a better measure of death rate than CDR. 3) Crude Birth Rate (CBR) is the number of live births per 1,000 mid-year total population in a given area during a year. 4) General Fertility Rate (GFR) is the number of live births per 1,000 women aged 15-49 years, which is the main child

Crude Death Rate (CDR)
 It is the number of death occurring  
• CDR = =
among the population of a given D = Deaths
geographical area during a given P = Population
year, per 1,000 mid-year total
population of the given Age-group Town 1 Town 2
geographical area during the same E.g. (years) Population Deaths Population Deaths
0 to 9 1500 90 8000 100
year. 10 to 24 3000 34 5000 20
25 to 44 5000 30 6000 30
45 + 2500 54 2000 42
 It helps us to calculate dying Total 12000 208 21000 192
probability of a person chosen • CDR of Town 1= = 0.01733 = 17.33 per thousand
randomly from the population
during a particular period • CDR of Town 2= = 0.00914 = 9.14 per thousand

2
Specific Death
Rate
 Death rate calculated for a  
specific class or section of • Specific DR = (Age)
population =
Dx = No. of deaths of person aged x years
e.g. Age-specific death rate Px = No. of persons aged x years
Cause-specific death rate • E.g.

 It is considered as the best Age-group Sp.DR (per thousand)


measure of death rate (years) Town 1 Town 2 Town 1 Town 2
0 to 9 90/1500=0.06 100/8000=0.0125 60 12.5
10 to 24 34/3000=0.0113320/5000=0.004 11.33 4
25 to 44 30/5000=0.006 30/6000=0.005 6 5
45 + 54/2500=0.0216 42/2000=0.021 21.6 21

Crude Birth Rate (CBR)
 
 It  is the number of
live births occurring among the • CBR =
population of a given geographical
area during a given year, per 1,000 • E.g.
mid-year total population of the given Total Population= 2,75,00,000
geographical area during the same Live Births = 5,00,000
year Female Population (age 15 – 49, Child bearing
age) = 75,00,000

CBR = = 0.01818 = 18.18 per thousand

4
General Fertility Rate (GFR)
 The number of live births per 1,000  
women of reproductive
• GFR =
ages (generally it is 15-49 years)
per year.
• E.g.
Total Population= 2,75,00,000
Live Births = 5,00,000
Female Population (age 15 – 49, Child bearing age) =
75,00,000

GFR = = 0.06756 =67.56 per thousand

5
Vital Index  

 It is a way to measure the growth in


the population
• VI =

 It refers to the ratio of no. of births • E.g. No. of births = 30000


to no. of death in a population over No. of deaths = 15000
given period of time
Then, VI = = 2
