Thailand - Infant mortality rate

The infant mortality rate in Thailand in 2016 was 10.5 people per 1,000 births. Between 1967 and 2016, the infant mortality rate in Thailand declined at a moderate rate, from 80.5 deaths per 1,000 births in 1967 to 10.5 deaths per 1,000 births in 2016 .

The infant mortality rate is the number of infants who died every 1,000 births before reaching 1 year of a year.

The accuracy of perinatal and infant mortality rates in most developing countries is questionable. Perinatal and infant mortality rates in rural Thailand were measured and compared with official statistics to assess accuracy. All births and infant deaths in a year in Thai rural areas were investigated. Corresponding official statistics were also collected. We interviewed relatives of all mothers or stillbirths and infant deaths due to stillbirth registration or infant death. The perinatal period and infant mortality rate studied were 22.0 and 23.1, respectively. The stillbirth registration rate is less than 100%, the infant mortality rate is 45%. All unregistered infant deaths are the deaths of infants prior to birth registration. These results document the extent and nature of underdelivery of perinatal and infant mortality rates in rural areas in Thailand.

Infant mortality is the death of a baby before his first birthday. Infant mortality rate is the number of infant deaths per 1,000 births.

In 2016, the infant mortality rate in the United States was 5.9 people per 1,000 births. (US mortality, see 2016). Healthy people provide a science-based 10 year national goal to improve the health of all Americans. One of the goals of 2020 healthy people is to reduce all infant mortality. In 2016, 23 states achieved the goal "healthy people 2020". This is 6.0 deaths per 1,000 births. Geographically, southern states in 2016 have the highest infant mortality rate. Housing prices are also high in some Midwest states
