150 REF: Park 20th edition page 418
Crude birth rate = (Number of liver births in a year/ Estimated mid year population) x 1000
30 = (Live births/ 5000) x 1000
Live births = 150 (indirectly indication the number of pregnancy)
| A | 18—20 years | |
| B | 20—23years | |
| C | 28—35 years | |
| D | 47 — 50 years |

All the statements regarding crude birth rate are true, except:
| A |
It is an Indicator of fertility |
|
| B |
It excludes the still births |
|
| C |
It is unaffected by age-distribution |
|
| D |
It is a better measure of fertility than the general fertility rate |

General fertility rate is a better measure of fertility than the crude birth rate, because the denominator is restricted to the number of woman in childbearing age rather than the whole population.
In crude death rate the population is taken as on
| A |
1st March |
|

1st July |
|
| C |

|
| D |

Ans. is ‘b’ i.e., 1st July
o A rate comprises the following elements ‑
i) Numerator, ii) Denominator, iii) Time specification, iv) Multiplier
Numerator —> Refers to the number of times an event (e.g. sickness, birth, death) has occured in a population, during a specified time period. Numerator is a component of the denominator in calculating a rate, but not in a ratio. Denominator —> Denominator may be :‑
i) Related to population
Mid year population –> population estimated on first of July of an year
Population at risk
Person – time
Person distance
ii) Related to total events
As in case fatality rate, denominator is total number of cases rather than total population.
Crude death rate is an indicator that shows relationship between –
| A |
Population & total mortality |
|
| B |
Population & proportional mortality |
|
| C |
Population & age-specific mortality |
|
| D |
None of the above |

Crude death rate
- It is the simplest measure of mortality.
- It is defined as “the number of death (from all causes) per 1000 estimated mid-year population in one year, in a given place”.
