Title: Infant Mortality Rate Per 1000 Births
 
Category: Maternal & Child Health


Additional Categories 

 
Target: CDC's National Healthy People 2010 developed an objective aimed at decreasing the number of infant deaths to 4.5 per 1,000 live births.
 
What it signifies: Infant mortality is used to compare the health and well-being of populations across and within countries. The infant mortality rate, the rate at which babies less than one year of age die, has been declining since 1960. However, the U.S. infant mortality rate ranks 29th in the world at 6.78 infant deaths per 1,000 live births in 2004, the latest year that data is available for all countries. There are large racial disparities in infant mortality. In 2005, the infant mortality rate for non-Hispanic black women was 13.63 infant deaths per 1,000 live births, compared to a rate of 5.76 for non-Hispanic white women.
