Child Mortality Rate

Child mortality rate is measured as the rate of death of children aged below one year over the total live births of the same year Death 28 days of age x 1000 Live births

Maternal Mortality Rate

This is the rate of total deaths from maternal causes over the total live births of the same year

Total deaths from Maternal Causes x 1000 Live births

Percentage of two towns composed of 65 years old and over

Both towns are composed of 5.2% of the total population aged 65 years and over. In Antique, this age group comprises 6.86 % of the total population of the province, and in Northern Samar, the same age group comprises 4.20% of the total population of the province. In comparison to their composition, data shows that they have a proportional rate. In comparison with the Philippines as a whole, the rate in the town level is not significantly high as compared to the national level, that is, in terms of the same age group.

Average number of persons per household

Average household size in the Philippines (4.3) Average household size in Antique(4.6) Average household size in Northern Samar (4.7)

Comparing the household sizes of the provinces and in the country as a whole, data shows that there is no significant difference on the household sizes of the provinces and the rates are not too far from the Philippine average household size.

Surprisingly: Maternal Mortality Rate

Based on the country progress on all indicators, the Philippines is in critical danger of not achieving the target on improving maternal health by 2015. While the maternal mortality rate (MMR) had been declining over the past two decades, from 209 per 100,000 live births in 1993 to 172 in 1998 to 162 in 2006, the rate of change has been relatively low. In addition, the decline appears to have stalled making the target reduction in MMR of 52 deaths per 100,000 live births by 2015 highly improbable.
