Health, Nutrition, and Sanitation - Health Status Indicators

Crude birth rate (CBR) is the number of live births per 1000 population. The crude birth rate of the City exhibited a fluctuating trend with an average of 20.82 for the period 1997 to 2001. Except for the year 1998, data showed that birth rates for males were slightly higher than for females. The total fertility rate or the number of live births per 1000 population belonging to the childbearing age, on the other hand, was relatively high at 110.1. The crude death rate (CDR) or the number of deaths per 1000 population showed a constantly increasing trend. From a CDR of 2.2 in 1996, it increased to 3.8 in 2001. Infant mortality rate or the number of deaths to infants under one year old per 1000 live births was around 13.3 while the maternal mortality per 1000 live births was only 0.86 (Tables 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 refer).

Table 6.3 Deaths, All Causes, 1996-2001


Tables 6.4, 6.5, and 6.6 show the leading causes of infant mortality, morbidity and mortality, respectively.


Table 6.4 Leading Causes of Infant Mortality, 1999


Table 6.5 Ten Leading Causes of Morbidity, 2000


Table 6.6 Ten Leading Causes of Mortality, 2000


The causes of illness for the past five years were preventable diseases such as upper respiratory tract infection and diarrhea. The first is commonly caused by tobacco smoking and high particulate matter (e.g. dust, vehicle emission) concentration in the air. The second, on the other hand, is mainly caused by poor sanitation practices and water contamination.

The leading causes of deaths were mainly related to lifestyle and environment. Among the prevalent causes of deaths in the past five years were cardiovascular diseases, pneumonia, cancer, tuberculosis and accidents among others. The rate of these diseases in 2000 also shows an increase from its value in the past five years. Incidences of malnourishment are noted in all barangays of San Jose Del Monte. The highest second-degree malnutrition rate was observed in barangay Mulawin and in the Pabahay 2000 within Barangay Muzon. The highest third degree malnutrition rate was likewise observed at Barangay Muzon (Table 6.7 refers).
