Define infant mortality rate? Suppose 2,100 live births were recorded in Pathari Sanischare Municipality in 2015 AD. Among them 60 infants died of age below 1 year. Find infant mortality rate.

Infant mortality rate can be defined as the total number of deaths of infants per 1000 live births in a specific area during a year.

Here,
Total number of live births (B)=2100
Total number of infant deaths (Do) = 60
Now,
IMR = ( Do/B ) * 1000
        = ( 60/2100 ) * 1000
        = 28.57
IMR of Pathari Sanischare Municipality in 2015 A.D was 28.57 per 1000 live births.
