Mortality

1. Define the following terms:

• Crude death rate: The number of deaths per 1000 of population per year.
• Age specific death rate: The number of deaths per year per 1000 of population of a specific age group e.g. 50 – 55 years.
Life expectancy: The average age that someone is expected to live within a country. Infant mortality: The number of infant deaths (one year or younger) per year per 1000 live births.

• Child Mortality: The number of deaths of children under 5 years old per 1000 children

2. Explain how the following factors can affect death rates:

• Age: The number of deaths of children under 5 years old per 1000 children

    Women’s life expectancy is higher than men; women typically live five years longer than men (Stretch and Whitehouse 2012. In 2002, life expectancy at birth for females born in UK was 81 years, compared with 76 years for males. This contrasts with 49 and 45 years respectively at the turn of the last century in 1901(Sikin, L undated). Another reason why women live longer could be because men tend to smoke and drink more alcohol than women in general. Men also take more risk than women; Women have less chance in getting cardiovascular disease, like heart attack and stroke. Women usually develop these problems usually in their 70s and 80s, about 10 years later than men, who develop them in their 50s and 60s (Blue, L 2008). Another reason why women live longer could be because men in their late teens and 20s go through something called ‘’testosterone’’ (Blue, L 2008). Testosterone is when the level of hormones is high and changeable, this can create dangerous behaviors. For e.g. they may not wear seatbelts; they drink alcohol and they can become aggressive. These kinds of behaviors can lead to higher death rates for males.…

    Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) also known as infant death rate, is the death of an infant before his or her first birthday. Infant mortality is calculated, by the number of children who die under a year of age divided by the number of live births that year. Infant mortality rate is very important as it relates to the health of pregnant women, children and infants and it’s associated with maternal health, quality and access to medical care, socioeconomic conditions, and public health practices. The most important purpose of this review is to examine and understand why African American infants are disproportionately affected and the factors(Low birth weight, preterm birth weight and very low birth weight and infant mortality) .…

    Aging is different for men and women. Not only do the male and female body respond differently to aging, the male and female psychology does too. Taken together, aging for men and women can be an entirely different experience. It is a simple fact that, almost everywhere in the world, women live longer than men. Some think that the reason for longer life expectancy for women is that men do more dangerous things and have more dangerous occupations (being in the armed forces, for example). That explains some, but not all, of the differences. Other explanations include the fact that women are more likely to see a doctor and (possibly) be diagnosed earlier for health problems. Bottom line: women live years longer than men. Sex and aging are very different for men and women. A woman's body responds to aging dramatically (with menopause) while a man's body responds more gradually.…

    When the mob formed on King’s Street on the night of March 5th, I quickly joined them. I am a loyal patriot, and it is my duty to stand up for my people against what I assumed to be an unwarranted attack from the soldiers. I did not have a club nor cane. The main guard, along with Captain Thomas Preston came rushing out to support the sentry on King’s Street. He told us to disperse before anything injurious happened, but we refused. In a blink of an eye, five workingmen were shot to their graves. Luckily, I made it out of that nasty brawl only with a bullet in my shoulder.…
