Technical Notes
It should be noted that tribal identity is not recorded on birth or death certificates. Tabulations of births and deaths in this publication
are by place of residence in Arizona and not by tribe.
American Indian births are determined by mother's race as indicated on a birth certificate, that is, these are the births to American
Indian mothers. American Indian deaths are determined by decedent's race as stated on the death certificate.
Health Status Profile of American Indians in Arizona is intended as a data book: a basic reference for some of the most frequently
requested statistics. The four sections of the report were computer-generated and contain information with no accompanying narrative.

Sources of Data
The charts in Section I and II are based on rates and ratios published in the Arizona Health Status and Vital Statisticsannual report (s).
Information on live births and deaths in Sections III and IV is compiled from the original documents (i.e., certificates of live births and
certificates of death) filed with the Arizona Department of Health Services.
Population denominators for American Indians by place of residence in Arizona were not available for 1996.

Definition of Terms
Rates
Age-adjusted mortality rates - Because mortality from most causes of death occurs predominately
among the elderly, a population group with a larger proportion of older persons would have a higher
mortality rate. The "age-adjustment" removes the effect of the age differences among subpopulations by
placing them all in a population with a standard age distribution. All age-adjusted mortality rates used in
this report were computed by the direct method, that is by applying the age-specific death rates to the
standard population distributed by age. The total U.S. population as enumerated in 1940 was selected as
the standard.
Infant mortality rate - Number of infant (< 1 year old) deaths per 1,000 live births.
Postneonatal mortality rate - Number of postneonatal (at least 28 days of age)deaths per 1,000 live
births.
Terms Related to Reproductive Health
Birth or Live Birth - The complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of human
conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy which, after such expulsion or extraction, breaths
or shows any other evidence of life such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or
definite movement of voluntary muscles, whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta
is attached.
Birth weight - The weight of a neonate determined immediately after delivery or as soon thereafter as
possible..
Gestational age - The number of completed weeks that have elapsed between then first day of the last
menstrual period and the date of delivery, irrespective of whether the gestation results in a live birth or a
fetal death.
Infant death - Any death at any time from birth up to, but not including, the first year of age(364 days,
23 hours, 59 minutes from the moment of birth).
Low-birthweight - Prior to 1990: any neonate whose weight at birth is 2,500 grams or less. Beginning in
1990: any neonate weighing less than 2,500 grams at birth (less than 5 pounds 8 ounces).
