Introduction
Population health is the health outcome of a group of people that is the distribution of the
outcomes within the group. Therefore, measuring population health involves the measure of life
expectancy, crude mortality, age-specific, and age-adjusted mortality, as well as years of
potential life lost (Shi and Singh, 2019). An assessment group can then collect data such as the
death rates and infection rates of various ailments to monitor the people's health in the targeted
area. The discussion will then focus on measuring the population's health which also measures
the availability and utilization of health services with the assumption that they are easily
available. Therefore, following the recent years' health outcomes as governed by the
demographic and health trends, it is easy to understand its health.
Discuss if the 2005 to 2010 infant death rates improved.
According to statistics given in the demographic table, the U.S infant mortality rate
declined by 10% from 2005 to 2010 (Turnock, 2016). In 2005 there was 6.86 infant death per
1000 live births, which was high compared to 2010 records which were 6.14 per 1000 live births.
There were then fewer deaths among the infants.
Analyze the conclusion which all draw and explain the demographic change in the county
population listed.
The U.S demographic change in the county population listed shows a variation in the
country's population. The variation is an increase in the population of approximately 8% from
2005 to 2010. Consequently, for the past decade, there has been an addition of 332 million
people. The estimation is according to the Census Bureau analysis, which was released of the
