Vital Statistics Topics
Vital statistics refers to government records of all births, deaths, marriages, and divorces. These records are valuable assets in analyzing the health of Utah citizens. For example, they can show common causes of death and low birth weight trends in babies. Timely and accurate data about the public's health pinpoints areas that need intervention.

Reproductive and Birth Outcomes
The Utah Office of Vital Records and Statistics gathers reproductive and birth outcomes data. The datasets contain information about the mother (such as age, marital status, race, substance use, and pre-natal care) the infant (such as gestation age, sex, and birth weight), and the birth (such as birth method, birth place, and adequacy of pre-natal care). The datasets also include statistics on sex ratio, preterm birth, low birth weight, and fetal, infant, and maternal mortality.
