I now have enough material from Park's textbook. Let me compile the complete vital statistics exercise with numericals.
Vital Statistics - Complete Exercise
(Community Medicine | Park's Textbook Reference)
PART A: DEFINITIONS, FORMULAS & KEY VALUES
1. CRUDE BIRTH RATE (CBR)
Definition: Number of live births occurring in a given year per 1000 mid-year population.
$$\text{CBR} = \frac{\text{No. of live births in a year}}{\text{Mid-year population}} \times 1000$$
- Normal range: 20-35/1000 population (developing countries)
- India (2018): ~20/1000
2. CRUDE DEATH RATE (CDR)
Definition: Number of deaths occurring in a given year per 1000 mid-year population.
$$\text{CDR} = \frac{\text{Total deaths in a year}}{\text{Mid-year population}} \times 1000$$
- India (2018): ~6.2/1000
3. INFANT MORTALITY RATE (IMR)
Definition (Park's): "The ratio of infant deaths registered in a given year to the total number of live births registered in the same year; usually expressed as a rate per 1000 live births."
$$\text{IMR} = \frac{\text{No. of deaths of children < 1 year in a year}}{\text{No. of live births in the same year}} \times 1000$$
- India (2018): 32/1000 live births
- Was 204 during 1911-15
- National Health Policy target: 25/1000 live births by 2017
- IMR is considered the single most important indicator of health status of a community - Park's Textbook of Preventive and Social Medicine
4. NEONATAL MORTALITY RATE (NNMR)
Definition: Deaths of infants in the first 28 days of life per 1000 live births.
$$\text{NNMR} = \frac{\text{No. of deaths under 28 days age in a year}}{\text{No. of live births in the same year}} \times 1000$$
- Subdivided into:
- Early neonatal (0-6 days): deaths in first week
- Late neonatal (7-27 days): deaths from 7th to 27th day
- India (2018): Early NMR = ~13/1000, Late NMR = ~4/1000
5. POST-NEONATAL MORTALITY RATE (PNMR)
Definition: Deaths between 28 days and 1 year per 1000 live births.
$$\text{PNMR} = \frac{\text{Deaths from 28 days to <1 year}}{\text{No. of live births}} \times 1000$$
- India (2018): 9/1000 live births (both urban and rural)
- Causes: mainly infections, diarrhea, malnutrition
Relationship: IMR = NNMR + PNMR
6. PERINATAL MORTALITY RATE (PMR)
Definition: Stillbirths + early neonatal deaths (0-6 days) per 1000 total births (live + still).
$$\text{PMR} = \frac{\text{Stillbirths + Deaths in first 7 days of life}}{\text{Total births (live + still)}} \times 1000$$
- India (2018): 22/1000 total births (Rural: 25, Urban: 14)
- Indicates quality of obstetric care and neonatal care
7. STILLBIRTH RATE (SBR)
Definition: Number of stillbirths (foetal deaths after 28 weeks gestation) per 1000 total births.
$$\text{SBR} = \frac{\text{No. of stillbirths in a year}}{\text{No. of total births (live + still)}} \times 1000$$
- India (2018): 4/1000 total births
8. MATERNAL MORTALITY RATIO (MMR)
WHO Definition (Park's): "The death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management but not from unintentional or incidental causes."
$$\text{MMR} = \frac{\text{No. of maternal deaths in a year}}{\text{No. of live births in the same year}} \times 100{,}000$$
Note: MMR is technically a ratio (denominator = live births), not a rate.
Types of maternal deaths:
- Direct obstetric deaths - from obstetric complications (haemorrhage, hypertensive disorders, sepsis, obstructed labour, unsafe abortion)
- Indirect obstetric deaths - from pre-existing disease aggravated by pregnancy (e.g. cardiac disease, renal disease)
- Late maternal death - direct/indirect obstetric death >42 days but <1 year after delivery
India (2016-18) values:
| State | MMR |
|---|---|
| India (Total) | 113 |
| UP | 197 |
| MP | 173 |
| Assam | 215 |
| Kerala | 43 |
| Maharashtra | 46 |
| Tamil Nadu | 60 |
9. CHILD MORTALITY RATE (1-4 yr Mortality Rate)
$$\text{Child MR} = \frac{\text{Deaths in age group 1-4 yrs}}{\text{Mid-year population aged 1-4 yrs}} \times 1000$$
- Sensitive indicator of malnutrition and diarrheal disease
- May be 20x higher in developing vs. developed countries
10. UNDER-5 MORTALITY RATE (U5MR)
$$\text{U5MR} = \frac{\text{Deaths < 5 years of age}}{\text{No. of live births}} \times 1000$$
- SDG target: <25/1000 live births by 2030
11. FERTILITY RATES
| Rate | Formula | Denominator |
|---|---|---|
| Crude Birth Rate | Births/Mid-year pop × 1000 | Total population |
| General Fertility Rate (GFR) | Births/Women aged 15-44 × 1000 | Women 15-44 yrs |
| Age-Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR) | Births to women of age group/Women in that age group × 1000 | Women of specific age |
| Total Fertility Rate (TFR) | Sum of all ASFRs × 5 | - |
- India TFR (2018): 2.2 (replacement level = 2.1)
PART B: SUGGESTED NUMERICALS (UC Pattern)
Numerical 1 - IMR Calculation
In a district, 850 infants (< 1 year) died during the year 2022. The total live births registered during the same year were 25,000.
Calculate: IMR
Solution:
$$\text{IMR} = \frac{850}{25{,}000} \times 1000 = \boxed{34/1000 \text{ live births}}$$
Numerical 2 - MMR Calculation
In a state, 480 maternal deaths were recorded in the year 2022. The total number of live births was 6,00,000.
Calculate: MMR (per 1,00,000 live births)
Solution:
$$\text{MMR} = \frac{480}{6{,}00{,}000} \times 1{,}00{,}000 = \boxed{80/1{,}00{,}000 \text{ live births}}$$
Numerical 3 - NNMR & PNMR
In a community study, out of 10,000 live births:
- 150 died within 28 days of birth
- 90 died between 28 days and 1 year
Calculate: NNMR, PNMR, and IMR
Solution:
$$\text{NNMR} = \frac{150}{10{,}000} \times 1000 = 15/1000$$
$$\text{PNMR} = \frac{90}{10{,}000} \times 1000 = 9/1000$$
$$\text{IMR} = \text{NNMR} + \text{PNMR} = 15 + 9 = \boxed{24/1000 \text{ live births}}$$
Numerical 4 - Perinatal Mortality Rate
In a hospital, over 1 year:
- Total live births: 4,500
- Stillbirths: 90
- Early neonatal deaths (0-6 days): 60
Calculate: PMR and Stillbirth Rate
Solution:
$$\text{Total births} = 4500 + 90 = 4590$$
$$\text{PMR} = \frac{90 + 60}{4590} \times 1000 = \frac{150}{4590} \times 1000 = \boxed{32.7/1000 \text{ total births}}$$
$$\text{SBR} = \frac{90}{4590} \times 1000 = \boxed{19.6/1000 \text{ total births}}$$
Numerical 5 - CBR and CDR
A town has a population of 2,00,000 at mid-year. During the year, 5,400 live births and 1,200 deaths were recorded.
Calculate: CBR, CDR, and Natural Growth Rate
Solution:
$$\text{CBR} = \frac{5400}{2{,}00{,}000} \times 1000 = \boxed{27/1000}$$
$$\text{CDR} = \frac{1200}{2{,}00{,}000} \times 1000 = \boxed{6/1000}$$
$$\text{Natural Growth Rate} = CBR - CDR = 27 - 6 = \boxed{21/1000 \text{ (2.1%)}}$$
Numerical 6 - General Fertility Rate
Mid-year population of women aged 15-44 years in a district = 80,000. Total live births in the year = 3,200.
Calculate: GFR
$$\text{GFR} = \frac{3200}{80{,}000} \times 1000 = \boxed{40/1000 \text{ women aged 15-44 yrs}}$$
Numerical 7 - Proportional Mortality Rate (PMR - Indicator)
In a district, total deaths = 2,000. Deaths in age group ≥ 50 years = 900.
Calculate: Proportional Mortality Rate (50+ years)
$$\text{PMR (50+ yrs)} = \frac{900}{2000} \times 100 = \boxed{45%}$$
- PMR > 75% = Good health of community (most deaths in old age)
- PMR < 50% = Poor health status
Numerical 8 - Case Fatality Rate (CFR)
During a cholera outbreak, 200 cases were reported and 14 died.
Calculate: CFR
$$\text{CFR} = \frac{14}{200} \times 100 = \boxed{7%}$$
PART C: QUICK REVISION TABLE
| Indicator | Formula | Denominator Multiplier | India Value (2018) |
|---|---|---|---|
| CBR | Births/Mid-yr pop | × 1000 | ~20 |
| CDR | Deaths/Mid-yr pop | × 1000 | ~6.2 |
| IMR | Deaths <1yr/Live births | × 1000 | 32 |
| NNMR | Deaths <28 days/Live births | × 1000 | ~23 |
| PNMR | Deaths 28d-1yr/Live births | × 1000 | 9 |
| PMR | (Stillbirths + 0-6d deaths)/Total births | × 1000 | 22 |
| SBR | Stillbirths/Total births | × 1000 | 4 |
| MMR | Maternal deaths/Live births | × 1,00,000 | 113 |
| U5MR | Deaths <5yrs/Live births | × 1000 | 37 |
| GFR | Births/Women 15-44 yr | × 1000 | - |
PART D: IMPORTANT ONE-LINERS FOR EXAMS
- IMR = Best single indicator of health status of a community + effectiveness of MCH services
- MMR uses live births as denominator (not total births) × 1,00,000
- PMR uses total births (live + still) as denominator
- CDR = Crude, Age-specific = better, SMR = standardized for comparison
- Natural growth rate = CBR - CDR
- Doubling time = 70 / Growth rate (%)
- Perinatal period = 28 weeks of gestation to 7 days after birth
- Neonatal period = Birth to 28 days
- Late maternal death = >42 days but <1 year after delivery
- Replacement level TFR = 2.1 (India achieved this nationally)

Numericals on imr mmr
Here are focused numericals on IMR and MMR, covering all exam patterns asked in UC (University of Calcutta / community medicine practicals):
Numericals on IMR & MMR
SECTION A: IMR NUMERICALS
🔢 Numerical 1 - Basic IMR
In a district during 2022:
- Live births = 18,000
- Deaths of infants (< 1 year) = 504
Calculate IMR.
Solution:
$$\text{IMR} = \frac{\text{Infant deaths}}{\text{Live births}} \times 1000$$
$$= \frac{504}{18{,}000} \times 1000 = \boxed{28/1000 \text{ live births}}$$
Interpretation: This is close to India's 2018 national IMR of 32 - indicates a relatively well-performing district.
🔢 Numerical 2 - IMR from NNMR and PNMR (Reverse)
In a population survey:
- Total live births = 12,000
- Neonatal deaths (< 28 days) = 180
- Post-neonatal deaths (28 days to < 1 year) = 96
Calculate: (a) NNMR, (b) PNMR, (c) IMR
Solution:
$$\text{(a) NNMR} = \frac{180}{12{,}000} \times 1000 = \boxed{15/1000}$$
$$\text{(b) PNMR} = \frac{96}{12{,}000} \times 1000 = \boxed{8/1000}$$
$$\text{(c) IMR} = NNMR + PNMR = 15 + 8 = \boxed{23/1000 \text{ live births}}$$
Key formula: IMR = NNMR + PNMR
🔢 Numerical 3 - Find Missing Value (Infant Deaths)
IMR of a district = 40/1000 live births.
Total live births in the year = 30,000.
Find: Number of infant deaths.
Solution:
$$\text{IMR} = \frac{\text{Infant deaths}}{\text{Live births}} \times 1000$$
$$40 = \frac{\text{Infant deaths}}{30{,}000} \times 1000$$
$$\text{Infant deaths} = \frac{40 \times 30{,}000}{1000} = \boxed{1200 \text{ infant deaths}}$$
🔢 Numerical 4 - Find Live Births (Reverse Calculation)
IMR = 35/1000 live births.
Infant deaths in that year = 700.
Find: Total live births.
Solution:
$$35 = \frac{700}{\text{Live births}} \times 1000$$
$$\text{Live births} = \frac{700 \times 1000}{35} = \boxed{20{,}000}$$
🔢 Numerical 5 - Compare Two Districts
| District | Live Births | Infant Deaths |
|---|---|---|
| A | 20,000 | 560 |
| B | 15,000 | 510 |
Which district has a better health status?
Solution:
$$\text{IMR District A} = \frac{560}{20{,}000} \times 1000 = 28/1000$$
$$\text{IMR District B} = \frac{510}{15{,}000} \times 1000 = 34/1000$$
District A has lower IMR (28) → better health status.
🔢 Numerical 6 - Early & Late Neonatal Breakdown
Live births = 10,000
- Early neonatal deaths (0-6 days) = 80
- Late neonatal deaths (7-27 days) = 40
- Post-neonatal deaths (28 days - 1 yr) = 60
Calculate: Early NMR, Late NMR, NNMR, PNMR, IMR
Solution:
$$\text{Early NMR} = \frac{80}{10{,}000} \times 1000 = \mathbf{8/1000}$$
$$\text{Late NMR} = \frac{40}{10{,}000} \times 1000 = \mathbf{4/1000}$$
$$\text{NNMR} = 8 + 4 = \mathbf{12/1000}$$
$$\text{PNMR} = \frac{60}{10{,}000} \times 1000 = \mathbf{6/1000}$$
$$\text{IMR} = 12 + 6 = \boxed{18/1000 \text{ live births}}$$
SECTION B: MMR NUMERICALS
🔢 Numerical 7 - Basic MMR
In a state in 2022:
- Live births = 5,00,000
- Maternal deaths = 400
Calculate MMR.
Solution:
$$\text{MMR} = \frac{\text{Maternal deaths}}{\text{Live births}} \times 1{,}00{,}000$$
$$= \frac{400}{5{,}00{,}000} \times 1{,}00{,}000 = \boxed{80 \text{ per } 1{,}00{,}000 \text{ live births}}$$
Interpretation: Below India's national MMR of 113 (2016-18) - good performance.
🔢 Numerical 8 - MMR with × 1000 denominator
A district records:
- Maternal deaths = 18
- Live births = 36,000
Calculate MMR per 1000 and per 1,00,000 live births.
Solution:
$$\text{MMR (per 1000)} = \frac{18}{36{,}000} \times 1000 = \boxed{0.5/1000}$$
$$\text{MMR (per 1,00,000)} = \frac{18}{36{,}000} \times 1{,}00{,}000 = \boxed{50/1{,}00{,}000}$$
Note: In exams, MMR is almost always expressed per 1,00,000 live births (WHO standard). Know both.
🔢 Numerical 9 - Find Maternal Deaths
MMR of a state = 150 per 1,00,000 live births.
Live births = 8,00,000.
Find: Number of maternal deaths.
Solution:
$$150 = \frac{\text{Maternal deaths}}{8{,}00{,}000} \times 1{,}00{,}000$$
$$\text{Maternal deaths} = \frac{150 \times 8{,}00{,}000}{1{,}00{,}000} = \boxed{1200 \text{ maternal deaths}}$$
🔢 Numerical 10 - Compare Two States
| State | Live Births | Maternal Deaths |
|---|---|---|
| X | 3,00,000 | 210 |
| Y | 4,50,000 | 405 |
Which state has better maternal health services?
Solution:
$$\text{MMR State X} = \frac{210}{3{,}00{,}000} \times 1{,}00{,}000 = 70/1{,}00{,}000$$
$$\text{MMR State Y} = \frac{405}{4{,}50{,}000} \times 1{,}00{,}000 = 90/1{,}00{,}000$$
State X has lower MMR (70) → better maternal health services.
🔢 Numerical 11 - Direct & Indirect Maternal Deaths
Total maternal deaths in a district = 120
- Direct obstetric deaths (haemorrhage, sepsis, eclampsia) = 84
- Indirect obstetric deaths (cardiac disease, anaemia) = 36
Live births = 60,000
Calculate: (a) Overall MMR, (b) Direct Obstetric Death Rate, (c) Indirect Obstetric Death Rate
Solution:
$$\text{(a) Overall MMR} = \frac{120}{60{,}000} \times 1{,}00{,}000 = \boxed{200/1{,}00{,}000}$$
$$\text{(b) Direct Obstetric Rate} = \frac{84}{60{,}000} \times 1{,}00{,}000 = \boxed{140/1{,}00{,}000}$$
$$\text{(c) Indirect Obstetric Rate} = \frac{36}{60{,}000} \times 1{,}00{,}000 = \boxed{60/1{,}00{,}000}$$
Verification: 140 + 60 = 200 ✓
🔢 Numerical 12 - Combined IMR + MMR (Long Question Type)
In district "Rampur" for year 2022:
- Mid-year population = 5,00,000
- Live births = 15,000
- Stillbirths = 300
- Infant deaths = 450
- Neonatal deaths = 270
- Maternal deaths = 30
- Total deaths = 4,000
Calculate: CBR, IMR, NNMR, PNMR, MMR, PMR (assume early neonatal deaths = 150)
Solution:
| Rate | Formula | Calculation | Answer |
|---|---|---|---|
| CBR | 15000/5,00,000 × 1000 | = 30/1000 | 30/1000 |
| IMR | 450/15000 × 1000 | = 30/1000 | 30/1000 |
| NNMR | 270/15000 × 1000 | = 18/1000 | 18/1000 |
| PNMR | (450-270)/15000 × 1000 | = 12/1000 | 12/1000 |
| MMR | 30/15000 × 1,00,000 | = 200/1,00,000 | 200/1,00,000 |
| PMR | (300+150)/(15000+300) × 1000 | = 450/15300 × 1000 | 29.4/1000 |
QUICK FORMULA CARD
| Rate | Numerator | Denominator | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|
| IMR | Deaths < 1 yr | Live births | × 1000 |
| NNMR | Deaths < 28 days | Live births | × 1000 |
| PNMR | Deaths 28d - 1yr | Live births | × 1000 |
| MMR | Maternal deaths | Live births | × 1,00,000 |
| PMR | Stillbirths + 0-6d deaths | Total births | × 1000 |
IMR = NNMR + PNMR - remember this always!
MMR denominator = Live births only (NOT total births, NOT total women)
