Definition of Terms:

1. Infant Mortality Rate - the number of deaths among children below one year old per 1,000 livebirths at a specified period of time. IMR is used as a general indicator of the nutritional
	and health status of the population.

2. Maternal Mortality Rate - most commonly used indicator of maternal death which measures the incidence of women's deaths resulting from complications of pregnancy and
	childbirth in a given population.

3. Life Expectancy - the average number of years of life remaining to persons of a given age on the basis of current age-specific mortality rates.

4. Life Expectancy at Birth - the average number of years a new born person is expected to live given the mortality condition at time of birth.

5. Morbidity - the measurement of incidence of disease in a given population. Morbidity rates measure the frequency (incidence and prevalence), duration and severity of cases of
	illness in a given population.
