OVERVIEW

Introduction

As the sole entity responsible for Civil Registration and the National Vital StatisticsDatabase for Jamaica, the main mandate of the Registrar General’s Department (RGD) isto ensure that each vital event (birth, death or marriage) that occurs in the country or in itswaters is registered. It is also important that the vital statistics from these registrations becorrect and accurate and that it be made available to the relevant persons on a timelybasis. This is made possible by approximately 330 Local District Registrars and 1,400Marriage Officers affiliated with the RGD.

In order for the vital statistics system to function optimally, civil registration must be aneffective and efficient driving force behind it. The first tangible result of the change frommanual to electronic methods of data storage and manipulation by RGD was thepublication of the 2002 Vital Statistics Annual Report. This marked the initiation of vitalstatistics reporting from RGD’s electronic database.

This step was significant since prior to its advent, the data for 1995 to 2001 was preparedmanually by accessing the physical registrations and compiling the data using electronicspreadsheets. In addition the majority of the procedures of compilation and production ofthe vital statistics were also manual. This meant that there was a greater chance of thedata being incorrect and that the time for generation would also not be in keeping withthe national standards.

The technological improvements at RGD, where data management is concerned, mustand will continue. Coupled with this must be the integration of the efforts of allorganisations that in any way play a part in civil registration.

Concerted collaboration between RGD and its various stakeholders is not a new concept,however, in the past few years specific programs geared toward this have been organisedand successfully executed. Ultimately, the goal is for Jamaica’s entire nationalregistration system to be fully functional, with very limited opportunity for a vital eventthat has occurred not to be registered in a timely manner.

In the past, several challenges have marred the performance of the country’s civilregistration system. The timeliness of birth registration is sometimes affected in caseswhere the mother fails to settle hospital fees. In respect of death registrations, the delay isoften due to the prolonged process which often accompanies the investigation anddocumentation of sudden or violent deaths. The documents needed to register thesedeaths are issued by the island’s Coroner’s Courts and Police Department.

Some of these inherent problems will have to be solved through legislation. Until thenecessary reforms come to fruition, however, the RGD has in the interim, implementednumerous measures to help to alleviate the situation.

2

In respect of deaths, as stated above the RGD realises that delay in or prevention ofregistration is often due to either a lag in the processes in the courts or police departmentor simply due to a lack in the knowledge of the relatives of the deceased. These relativesare often not sufficiently informed on how to register the death or become frustrated withthe process itself.

The documents needed for death registration are mentioned in detail in Types ofCertification under the Deaths section of this report. Generally speaking however, suddenand violent deaths are usually registered using either a Post Mortem Examination Report,a Certificate of Coroner (Form D) or a Coroner’s Certificate of Findings of the Jury(Form E).

The RGD has initiated a collection campaign for all outstanding Post MortemExamination Reports and Form Ds yet at the Resident Magistrates’ Courts. Thesedocuments are then checked against the existing death registrations to ensure that thespecific deaths were not previously registered. Once this is established, the process ofregistration commences. What is different about this new registration process is that theRGD no longer waits for a relative or another person to come in with the document toinitiate registration. In these cases, the Coroner who issues the document is entered as theInformant1.

In addition to the timely capture of the data, the importance of the accuracy andcorrectness of the data must not be neglected. In respect of this, the greatest challengethat is presently being faced also involves death registrations, specifically the cause ofdeath. In past reports, the ICD-10 “Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratoryfindings, not elsewhere classified” or (R00-R99) category was attributed to a significantnumber of deaths. This misleading phenomenon was also as a result of the tardiness ofthe Legal system with respect to death certification. Thus, many death registrations hadno information entered for cause of death. Below is a table showing the number of R00-R99 cases for 1995 to 2004 (bearing in mind that a portion of these are legitimate R99classifiable deaths).

FOR 1995 TO 2004

1 All death registrations, except those registered from Form Es, require an Informant at registration.

3

The correction of this undesirable result is now being dealt with, however, and the highincidence of the “R99” ICD-10 code is decreasing year by year as seen previously. Thereare other concerns with the cause of death data provided by medical personnel andpathologists, however. In addition to the perennial problem of illegibly handwrittenMedical Certificates of Cause of Death, the quality of the cause of deaths information ondeath certification documents are often not up to International standards. One of thecommon problems includes the apparent masking or failure of the reporting of theincidence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or Acquired Immune DeficiencySyndrome (AIDS) for some decedents. In some cases, an unaccepted term or abbreviationfor the condition known unofficially by medical doctors is cited on the document.Another challenge is that deaths caused by external causes, such as wounding, are oftennot specified with respect to intent (whether self-inflicted, accidental or assault). This isan increasingly important aspect of cause of death data which is poorly reported inJamaica and indeed the Caribbean. In the near future the RGD will be intensifying itsefforts to train the relevant professionals in order to eliminate the challenges as described.

The processes involved in the civil registration and vital statistics systems of Jamaica arecurrently in various phases of transition. It is envisioned that in the near future all theseprocesses will individually be vastly improved and operate together both efficiently andeffectively. This will facilitate a greater level of compatibility between the vital statisticsproduced by the country and that produced by the rest of the World.

Definitions

In order to facilitate consistency in comparison and analysis of data used in the AnnualVital Statistics Reports, the following commonly used terms are defined below:

Births Registered All live births registered during the current calendaryear. (Irrespective of year of occurrence, therefore theseinclude late registrations.)

Births Occurring All live births occurring in the current calendar year.(Registered up to February of the following year forPreliminary reports and then up to December of thefollowing year for the Final Report.)

Deaths Registered All deaths registered in the current calendar year.(Irrespective of year of occurrence, therefore theseinclude late registrations.)

Deaths Occurring All deaths occurring in the current calendar year.(Registered up to February of the following year forPreliminary reports and then up to December of thefollowing year for the Final Report.)

POPULATIONJamaica’s mean population continued to increase in 2004. It rose from 2,630,371 in 2003to 2,644,604 in 2004, an increase of 14,233 or 0.5%. Previously, it had increased from2,617,459 which was a magnitude of 12,912 also 0.5%. The country’s population growthrate over the past six years has averaged 0.6%.

OVERVIEW OF VITAL STATISTICS

BIRTHS - Occurring and RegisteredLive birth occurrences in 2004 totalled 42,448 whereas in the previous year, it was43,407 reflecting a decline of 959 or 2.2 %. Registrations totalled 45,980 in the currentyear while in 2003 it was 47,583, which indicates a decrease of 1,603 or 3.4%. In thecurrent year also, a sex ratio of 51:49 for male to female live births was observed for bothoccurrence and registrations.

Births In and Out of WedlockIn 2004, the percentage of births to parents out of wedlock did not change significantlywhen compared to the previous year: out of wedlock live births being 83.9% of all birthsin 2004 and 83.6% in 2003. The percentage of births to fathers not having theirparticulars entered on the birth registration stood at 45.3% of all births in the current year,while in 2003 these births accounted for 45.8%.

Deliveries in InstitutionsThe percentage of births occurring in institutions in 2004 was 98.1% while in 2003 it was95.7%, which is an increase of 2.4 percentage points. The percentage of qualifiedattendants attending to births in the current year was 98.8%, up from the previous year’s97.2 %.

Timing of RegistrationsIn respect of timing of registration, the percentage of births registered in the same monthas occurrence was 39.8% of all births occurring in 2004 and was the same percentage in2003. The delay in registration over 3 months stood at 6.6% in 2004 which is asignificant decline from the previous year’s 15.7%.

Teenage BirthsThe percentage of births to teenage mothers (ages 19 and under) did not changesignificantly as it was 19.3% and 19.4% in 2004 and 2003 respectively. In both years theage group with the highest number of births was the 20-24 year group.

DEATHSRegistered deaths for 2004 totalled 14,050 which was a decline of 889 or 6.0% from theprevious year’s total of 14,939. Occurrences totalled 13,364 in 2004 while they totalled14,667 in 2003; this was a decline of 1,303 or 8.9%.

7

In the current reporting year deaths occurring in Public Institutions accounted for 46.4%of all registered deaths, 3.3% occurring in Private Institutions and 50.3% in other placessuch as at home or any other venue not classified as a health care institution. In respect ofgender distribution for death registrations, 48.8% were adult males, 47.0% were adultfemales, 2.2% were infant males and 2.0% were infant females.

MARRIAGESThe total number of marriages registered in 2004 was 21,670 which indicates a decreaseof 806 or 3.6% from last year’s total of 22,476. Hotel marriages totalled 9,566 or 44.1%in 2004 compared to the previous year’s total of 10,037 or 44.7%. The leading Hotelmarriage parishes were again Westmoreland, St. Ann and Hanover.

DIVORCEThere was a total of 1,739 divorces absolute granted in 2004. This indicated a marginalincrease of 139 or 8.7% from the previous year’s total of 1,600.

POPULATION

Estimated Population and Annual Movement

The end of year population in 2004 stood at 2,650,900 which was a slight increase of12,600 or 0.5 % from the previous year’s total of 2,638,300. Over the six-year period asshown in Table 1, the end of year population has consistently increased by an average of0.5% from year to year for 1999 to 2004.

The net external movement, which speaks to the number of persons added to thepopulation after taking the island’s emigration and immigration totals into account,decreased minimally from 1999 to 2002 but then increased significantly in 2003 then didnot change significantly in 2004.

TABLE 1A : POPULATION GROWTH RATE FOR 1999 TO 2004

In respect of the parishes’ mean populations, Kingston and St. Andrew led with a total of658,515, then St. Catherine with 486,302 and Clarendon with 240,592. The parishes withthe lowest populations were Hanover and Trelawny with totals of 66,518 and 73,103respectively.

The trends for the rates per population of registered vital events reveal interesting facts.In respect of live births per population, the leading parishes were Manchester, St. Jamesand St. Ann with 29.5, 22.5 and 21.7 respectively. Conversely Hanover had the lowestrate at 7.9. For deaths, the top three parishes were Manchester, Kingston and St. Andrewand St. James with 7.2, 6.4 and 6.3, while St. Catherine had the lowest with 3.7. Parisheswith high rates of marriage included the hotel-rich parishes of Hanover, St. Ann and St.James with rates of 25.2, 23.1 and 22.5. Clarendon had the lowest rate of marriage at 3.1.Westmoreland, Portland and Manchester led stillbirth rates with 20.0, 19.8 and 17.7respectively while St. Thomas had no stillbirths being registered in 2004.(Table 2)

Crude Birth Rate

As a part of the continued improvement of the quality of data presented in AnnualReports, Crude Birth Rate (CBR) is now calculated using live birth occurrences, whereasin the past registration totals were utilised due to the delay in a large percentage of birthregistrations. The incidence of delay is now at significant lower levels than in previousyears. In 1997 CBR peaked at 21.6, this being the highest for the eight-year period. Itdecreased to 20.0 in 1998 and continued a steady decline in the following years to 19.0,18.8, 18.5, 16.9, 16.5 and finally to 16.1 in 2004.(Table 1B)

BIRTHS

Live Births Registered

The number of live births registered in Jamaica decreased by 1,603 or 3.3% in 2004 to45,980 compared with 47,583 in 2003. The month of January has since 2001 made thehighest contribution of 11% to total births registered. In 2004, however, the month ofMarch had the most registrations contributing 9.8% followed by January with 9.7%.

Kingston, Manchester and St. Catherine were the leading parishes contributing 9,692(21.1%), 5,702 (12.4%), 5.596 (12.2%) live birth registrations respectively. Together,they were responsible for 45.7% of the total registrations. These parishes have excelledin these positions since 1999. The parish of Hanover has continued contribute leastregistrations, recording 527 (1.1%). This can be attributed to the fact that Hanover has thelowest population distribution.(Table 3a)

Regions

On a regional level for 2004, the South-Eastern region continued to prevail in theregistration of live births, contributing a total of 20,338 (44.2%), followed by Southernwith 11,020 (24.0%), Western with 8,186 (17.8%), and North Eastern with 6,436(14.0%). A similar distribution existed in 2003 as shown in Table 1c below. This hasbeen the trend as shown in all of our publications since 1995. The trend is expected tocontinue in this particular order, provided there is no change in our present populationstructure.(Table 1C)

Live Births Occurring

The year 2004 recorded the occurrences of 42,448 live births in Jamaica, 959 or 2.2%less than 2003 which had a total of 43,407. The number of live births occurring has beenon a downward trend reflecting a decrease of 12.9% since 2000 when there was a recordtotal of 48,717.

The last quarter prevailed in recording the highest live birth occurrences. The month ofOctober placed first with 4,320 (10.2%), December was next with 4,161 (9.8%) andNovember followed closely in third place with 4,153 (9.8%) of the total. In 2003, the firstand last quarter took the top places as October, January and November recorded 4,197(9.7%), 4,147 (9.6%) and 4,025 (9.3%) respectively.(Table 3)

Sex Ratio

A total of 23,462 male and 22,516 female live births were registered in 2004, yielding asex ratio of 1,042 males per 1,000 females (or male to female ratio of 51 to 49) comparedto 2003 sex ratio of 1038 (or male to female ratio of 51 to 49). The annual sex ratio haschanged very little over the past few years. Nevertheless, substantial differences exist inthe sex ratios on the parish and regional levels.

The parish of Portland has once again recorded the highest sex ratio in live birthregistrations with 1,154 males per 1,000 females (or 53.6 to 46.4 male to female ratio) It

12

is interesting to note, that the parishes of St. Thomas and Westmoreland recorded thelowest sex ratios of 989 and 987 respectively (or male to female ratio of 49.7 to 50.3);and were exceptional as they were the only parishes showing females dominating males.The North Eastern Region had the highest sex ratio of 1054 (or male to female ratio of51.3 to 48.7), and Western with the lowest of 1,022 (or male to female ratio of 50.5 to49.5).(Table 3b)

Similarly, live birth occurrences had a sex ratio of 1,041 males per 1,000 females (or amale to female ratio of 51 to 49). The same parishes and regions highlighted remained intheir respective positions of highest and lowest in the recording of sex ratios (Portland1,186; St Thomas and Westmoreland, 991 and 993 respectively; North Eastern regionwith 1069; and Western now shared position with Southern at 1,016.(Table 3c)

The sex ratios for registrations and occurrences by parish of residence of mothergenerally reflect a similar trend. Slight variations existed as only the parish ofWestmoreland showed females dominating males and the South-Eastern regiondominated in sex ratio for live birth registrations.(Table 3d and 3e)

Father’s Registration – Births In and Out of Wedlock

Since the 1995 publication, the number of children born in wedlock has varied between12 – 18% of live births occurring in Jamaica. For this current year, 2004, births inwedlock totalled 6,835 or 16.1% and out of wedlock 35,613 or 83.9%. These figureswere on par with 2003 which saw in wedlock at 7,107 or 16.4% and out of wedlock at36,300 or 83.6% of live births occurring.

Of the total live births occurring, both in wedlock and out of wedlock, 54.7% were tofathers who had their particulars entered on the birth registration form; an increase of0.5% over that of 2003. Of illegitimate births, that is births out of wedlock, only 16,397or 38.6% father’s accepted paternity, an increase of 0.8% over 2003. Furthermore, ofthese out of wedlock occurrences, 16,324 or 99.6% were to father’s registered onsignature, otherwise known as “A and B” registration, and the remaining 73 or 0.4% wereon Declaration or “Status”. In comparison, 2003 saw a similar experience with 99.1%registered on “A and B” and 0.9% on “Status” registrations. (Table 4)

The agency continues to increase its efforts to educate fathers of the importance of havingtheir particulars entered on their child’s birth record. Its efforts are been rewarded as theproportion of father’s registered from the “out of wedlock” category has increased. Since1999, the percentage of these fathers registered for births out of wedlock has increasedfrom 36.7% in 1999 to 46.0% in the current year. However, there is still more progressto be made and the agency continues to include in its efforts the use of regularly

13

presented educational programmes in the electronic media, along with outreaches toschools and other relevant interest groups.(Table 4)

Institutional Deliveries

It is well established that giving birth in a medical institution under the care andsupervision of trained health-care providers promotes survival of infants and reduces therisk of maternal mortality. As a result, more mothers are now opting to give birth ininstitutions. Since 1995, our publications have been attested to this fact, births outside ofinstitutions has moved from a high of 15.1% in 1995 to a record low of 1.9% in 2004.

As shown in table 5, of the 42,448 live births occurring, 39,451 or 92.9% occurred inpublic institutions, 2,187 or 5.2% in private institution. Together institutional deliveriestotalled 41,638 or 98.1% and out of institutions 810 or 1.9%. When compared to 2003,institutional deliveries have increased by 2.5%.

The number of qualified attendants, which include medical doctors, nurses or midwives,present at deliveries has been on the increase. The year 2004, saw doctors accounting for8,679 or 20.4%; registered midwives 33,239 or 78.3%; together both groups attended to98.7% of live births unqualified attendants 489 or 1.2% Births; and persons of unknownqualification 41 or 0.01%.

Of key interest, doctors at delivery increased by 2.3% over 2003. Since our 1995publication Doctors attending deliveries have been increasing by a maximum of 2%creating a shift in some of the live births deliveries to doctors. As a result there has beena total increase of 10.8% in doctors attending deliveries from 9.6% in 1995 to 20.4% in2004.(Table 5)

Time of Registration

It is of utmost importance that all registrations take effect in a timely manner, as this aidsthe agency and ultimately policy makers in social, educational and health planning for thecountry.

The agency has continually advised the public to ensure that registration of a vital event,be it birth or death, happens immediately or within three months after such occurrence.However, registration can be effected up to twelve months outside of this time limit andstill would be regarded as on being on time. Once twelve months have elapsed such aregistration would be deemed “late” and can only be effected upon the Registrar Generalissuing an “Authority for Late Registration” to the Local District Registrar.

14

Table 6 gives a breakdown of 2004 live birth occurrences illustrating those registered inthe same month of occurrence and the delay in registration which appears in categories ofup to three months and over three months up to twelve months. Of the 42,448 birthswhich occurred, 16,903 or 39.8% were registered within the same month. This indicatesthat same month registrations were on par with 2003 which had 17,292 or 39.8%.

The delay in registrations under one year but over three months indicates an improvementof 9.1% as there were 2,810 or 6.6% such registrations compared to 6,809 or 15.7 % in2003. Such prompt response in registration can be attributed to the fact that 98.1% oflive births for this current year occurred in institutions. As a result the local districtregistrars upon receiving the notification of birth would begin the registration process.This is the first year we have experienced such low percentage delay since the 1995publication.

Examination of the percentage delay on a parish level reveals that St. Catherine has beenrecording the highest delay since 2001. In 2004, St. Catherine recorded 37.2% of its livebirths as percentage delay for over three months and under one year. Though this is aslight decline of 3.1% down from the previous year’s delay of 40.3%, this is nonethelessunfavourable considering that 93.8% of its live births occurred in institutions. Next inline in respect of delays were the parishes of Clarendon with 7.4%, St. James with 6.1%and St. Elizabeth with 2.7%

There were parishes however, which were very prompt in there recording andexperienced delay of less than one per cent: St. Andrew, St. Mary and Hanover each had0.8% delay; St. Thomas and Portland each 0.6% and Westmoreland with the lowestrecording of 0.1%. Overall, congratulations are in order to the stakeholders for this greatlevel of improvement as this is the lowest delay in registrations recorded since the 1995publication. It is anticipated that all parishes realise a delay of less than 1% forregistrations over three months and over one year.(Table 6)

Table 6a, a table which first originated in the 2000 report provides very usefulinformation for analysis of time of registration. Of the 45,980 live birth registrations in2004, 36,753 or 79.9% occurred in the same year of registration an increase of 2% over2003. The parishes of St. Andrew, St. Thomas, Portland and Westmoreland had over90% of their live births which were registered in the same year of occurrence. However,on average those registered in 2004, but occurred in 2003 accounted for 14.1% of all livebirths.(Table 6a)

In Table 6b, the year’s registrations are categorised by the time span between the date ofoccurrence and the date of registration. So for all the live births registered in 2004, those“within one year of occurrence” or “on time registrations” as the name suggests, are thoselive births that were registered no later than one year after the occurrence of the event.“Late registrations” are those that were registered later than one year of occurrence of thelive birth. For 2004, it is observed that 43,125 or 93.7% of the 45,980 live births

15

registered in 2004 were “on time” or registered within one year of the occurrence of thevital event.(Table 6b)

Mother’s Residence

As has been characteristic of previous years, the level of coincidence of parish ofoccurrence of live birth and parish of residence of mother was high for most parishes. St.Catherine, St. Thomas, Portland, Hanover, Trelawny, Clarendon and St. Elizabeth all hadover 95% coincidence. The other seven parishes had coincidences of below 88% withKingston and Manchester having the lowest at 20.4% and 54.2% respectively.

There were seven mothers whose residence was outside of Jamaica at the time of thebirth of their child. Two resided in Canada, two in Turks and Caicos, and one each inAntigua, the United States of America and Dominica.

Turning to the absolute values for the individual parishes, the leading parish was again St.Andrew with 8,251 of those live births to mother residing in that parish. St. Catherine andClarendon followed with 6,974 and 4,064 respectively.(Table 7 and 7a)

From Table B, interesting observations can be made. Though St. Andrew, St. Catherineand Clarendon have the highest absolute values for live births to mother residence, thevalues for live births per 1,000 of each parish’s population relate another trend. Here theleading parishes are all from the Western Region: Hanover, Westmoreland and St. Jameswith 19.3, 17.9 and 17.7 respectively.(Table B)

Birth Outcomes

The data presented in Table 8 mainly represents a quarterly summary of the datapreviously presented in Tables 4 and 5: gender, marital status and institutional births.Additionally, quarterly live birth outcome data is presented. The quarter with the largestnumber of live birth occurrences for 2004 was the October to December quarter with12,634, followed by the July to September, January to March and April to June quarterswith 10,715, 10,115 and 8,984 respectively.

In respect of live birth outcomes, there were 41,648 singletons, 810 sets of twins and 4triplets. This is comparable to the previous year’s totals of 42,511 singletons, 439 twinsand 6 triplets.(Table 8)

In respect of the parish of occurrence of the live births by outcome, it can be observedthat the triplets occurred in Kingston and St. Catherine, two in each parish. For twins, theparishes with the highest occurrence were Kingston and Manchester with 81 and 59respectively. Portland had the least with only one set of twins.(Table 8a)

Age Groups

In 2004 the largest age group of mother giving birth was the 20-24 group with 11,596 or27.3% of the live births. Next were the 25-29 and 15-19 groups with 9,407 (22.1%) and7,956 (18.7%) respectively. A similar trend was observed in the previous year with thesame group contributions as follows: 20-24 with 11,954 (27.5%), 25-29 with 9,362(21.6%) and 15-19 with 8,110 (18.7%).

As expected and as has been the past trend, the contribution from each live birth orderdecreases as the birth order increases. So the largest group overall would be the first born,then second born, third born and continuing in the same pattern as live birth orderincreases. Consequently, the two largest individual cohorts belong to the first born groupfor mother being in the 15-19 and 20-24 age groups with 6,456 and 5,078 respectively.Previously these groups also led with 6,430 and 4,949 respectively.

17

Of interest in the current year were occurrences of a mother in the 15-19 age grouphaving her third child, one in the 35-39 group having her thirteenth child, another three inthe 45-49 group each having their thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth child respectivelyand finally one mother from the 50 and over group having her fifth child.(Table 9)

When the live birth order by parish of occurrence pattern is examined, it is observed thatfor each parish, except one, the largest group of mothers comes from the 20-24 group. Ashas been the case for the past several years, St. Andrew is the only parish to depart fromthis trend as its largest age group is the 25-29 group. This is an interesting phenomenonwhich occurs each year. A possible reason for it could be that a significant portion of themothers who give birth in institutions in St. Andrew come from more affluent sections ofthe populace and delay having children until later years when compared to other parishes.(Table 9a)

Looking at Table 9b, however, it is observed that for all parishes of residence of mothers,the largest group belongs to the 20-24 group. Thus a more accurate pattern is shown withmother’s parish of residence data with regard to age group patterns of mothers givingbirth in the year. The parishes with the largest percentages for the 20-24 age group wereWestmoreland with 30.7% and St. Thomas with 29.6%.(Table 9b)

Teenage Deliveries

Live births to mothers under 15 totalled 278 and to the 15-19 group totalled 7,956.Together these accounted for 8,234 or 19.4% of all births. In the previous year, the under15 group had 311 while the 15-19 had 8,110 which totalled 8,421 or 19.4% of the birthsin that year.

As expected, the single largest cohort belonged to the 15-19 group of mothers who weregiving birth to their first live born with 6,456 or 15.2% of all births. In 2003 this cohorthad 6,430 or 14.8%. This indicates an increase of 0.4 percentage points for 2004compared to 2003. For the previous three years the percentage of these births hadprogressively decreased.

In respect of parish of occurrence, the parishes with the highest percentage of its birth toall mothers 19 and under were Trelawny and Hanover with 25.2% and 22.8%. The parishwith the lowest percentage was St. Andrew with 6.3%. Examining this data trend forparish of residence of mother, it is observed that Trelawny still led with 23.8% of itsbirths to mothers 19 and under followed by Clarendon with 21.8% while the parish withthe smallest percentage was St. Catherine with 16.0%.(Tables 9, 9a and 9b)

18

In Chart 1, it can beseen that for agegroups 15-19, 20-24,30-34 and 35-39,there were slightdecreases from 2003to 2004 in respect ofthe number of livebirths to mother ineach age category. Inthe under 15 and 25-29 groups there wereno significantchanges. In 2003, thepicture differed whendecreases wereregistered from 2002to 2003 for age groups 15-19, 25-29 and 30-34; the under 15 and 35-39 age groups didnot show changes while the 20-24 group was the sole category to experience an increase.

Chart 2 focuses on thecomparison for 2003and 2004 live births tomothers in the 15-19age group for first tofourth birth orders.First born birthsincreased slightlyfrom 2003 to 2004.Conversely secondborn births decreasedslightly for the sameperiod. The third borngroup also showed aminimal decline. Inrespect of the meantotals for each group

per year, mothers in the 15 to 19 age group having their first child averaged around6,400. The group of the same age having their second child averaged around 1,400. Thethird born category averaged below 200 while on the chart, the number for fourth bornwas negligible.

In Graph 2, the percentage change in the number of live births to mothers in the 15-19age group having their first to fourth child for the period 2003 to 2004 is shown. For threeof the four live birth orders, there were negative percentage changes from 2003 to 2004.There was a slight percentage increase of 0.4 for first born for the period, however,progressively larger percentage decreases were recorded for second, third and fourth bornto 15-19 year olds at the following magnitudes: -8.5%, -22.2% and -38.1% respectively.In the previous one-year comparison for 2002 to 2003, there were percentage decreasesfor the first, second and third born groups (-2.7%, -11.9% and -10.7% respectively) but asignificant percentage increase for fourth born at 50.0%.

Eight-Year Trend – 1997 to 2004

As for the previous eight-year trend showed, the 1997 to 2004 period continued the trendof decline for live birth registrations. There were decreases in total births registeredexcept in 2000 when there was a minimal increase of 408 or 0.8%. The year showing thelargest percentage decrease was 2002 with a 5,555 or 10.4% decrease. The overalldecline in total live births registered was 13,466 or 22.7%.(Table 1 D)

There is a general pattern of decline for all parishes over the eight-year period of 1997 to2004. In fact, from the first year to the current year, all parishes declined, except forManchester which increased by 716 or 14.4%. As for the previous period, the parishshowing the greatest percentage decrease was Hanover which fell by 450 or 46.1%.(Table 1 D and Graph 3)

DEATHS

Deaths Registered

For the year 2004, there were 14,050 deaths registered. This was 889 less than theprevious year’s total of 14,939, a decrease of 6.0%. The total number of deathregistrations in 2002 was very similar to that observed in 2003 at 14,931.

As has been the trend for previous years, the percentage contributions of the four regionsto death registrations in 2004 were as follows: South Eastern with 6,496 (46.2%),Southern with 3,235 (23.0%), Western with 2,424 (17.3%) and finally North Eastern with1,895 (13.5%).

The years 2003 and 2002 had comparable percentage and absolute regional contributionswhen they had the respective values of 7,317 (49.0%) and 6,929 (46.4%) for SouthEastern, 3,139 (21.0%) and 3,343 (22.4%) for Southern, 2,468 (16.5%) and 2,540(17.0%) for Western and 2,015 (13.5%) and 2,119 (14.2%) for North Eastern.

The three leading parish with respect to volume of registrations were again St. Andrew,Kingston and St. Catherine with 2,224 (15.8%), 1,980 (14.1%) and 1,778 (12.7%).Together, these parishes accounted for 42.6% of all deaths registered in the year. Thecircumstance was similar in 2003 when the contributions from these parishes wererespectively 2,621 (17.5%), 2,286 (15.3%) and 1,821 (12.2%). In 2002, the leadingparishes were Kingston with 2,314 (15.5%), St. Andrew 2,222 (14.9%) and St. Catherinewith 1,800 (12.1%).

Regarding monthly death registration totals, January had the highest number in thecurrent year with 1,442 (10.3%) as had been the case for 2003 and 2002, when it had1,560 (10.4%) and 1,492 (9.9%) respectively. Additionally, months with highregistrations in 2004 were March with 1,249 (8.9%) and June 1,240 (8.8%). In 2003,December and February followed with 1,350 (9.0%) and 1,294 (8.7%). In 2002, themonths which followed January were July and October with 1,407 (9.3%) and 1,293(8.6%) respectively.(Table 10a)

Crude Death Rate

Crude Death Rate, as shown in the table below, fluctuated over the 1997 to 2004 eight-year period. It increased from 5.9 in 1997 to a high of 6.7 in 1999 and then displayed ageneral downward trend from that year to the rate of 5.3 in the current year.(Table 1E)

23

Deaths Occurring

There were 13,364 deaths which occurred in 2004 and are registered. The previous yearhad 14,667 death occurrences which indicates a decrease of 1,303 or 8.9% from 2003 to2004. The 2004 total was also less than the 14,042 in 2002 by 678 or 4.8%.

As with population and live birth trends, the regional contributions were in the expectedorder of South Eastern, then Southern, Western and North Eastern. Additionally, the fourregions fluctuated over the three-year period of 2002 to 2004. In 2004, the deathoccurrence regional totals respectively were 6,128 (45.9%), 3,158 (23.6%), 2,237(16.7%) and 1,841 (13.8%). In 2003, they were 7,134 (48.6%), 3,114 (21.2%), 2,436(16.6%) and 1,983 (13.5%). In 2002, the contributions were 6,405 (45.6%), 3,198(22.8%), 2,426 (17.3%) and 2,013 (14.3%).

In 2004, the three leading months for death occurrences were January, June and Octoberwith 1,352 (10.1%), 1,178 (8.8%) and 1,174 (8.8%) respectively. In 2003, January,December and March led with 1,451 (9.9%), 1,331 (9.1%) and 1,257 (8.6%) respectively.The situation differed in 2002, however, as the leading months were July, October andApril with 1,369 (9.7%), 1,262 (9.0%) and 1,216 (8.7%) respectively.(Table 10)

Types of Certification

As outlined in previous reports, deaths which occur in Jamaica require certification by aqualified medical officer, doctor or pathologist. This process involves the determinationof the events of cause of death as well as its documentation, along with all relevantdemographic data for the deceased. This must be done according to the prescribed formatunder the Registration of Births and Deaths Act. The various forms of death certificationinclude Medical Certificate of Cause of Death, Post Mortem Examination Report,Certificate of Coroner (Form D) or Coroner’s Certificate of the Findings of the Jury(Form E).

The Medical Certificate of the Cause of Death is normally completed by a medical doctoror officer who had been overseeing the care and/or treatment of the decedent and had lastdone so no more than six months before death had occurred. The essential purpose of the

* Data in this table is calculated on Deaths registered

TABLE 1 E : CRUDE DEATH RATE FOR 1997 TO 2004

24

Medical Certificate of the Cause of Death is that the officer who completes and certifiesit is reasonably certain of the cause of death of the decedent that he or she enters on it. If,for instance, someone was recently under the care of a physician and then diedunexpectedly or suddenly, the physician might be in some doubt as to whether the morbidor disease condition, for which he or she had been attending the deceased prior to death,really was sufficient to cause the demise. In this case, a post mortem may becomenecessary.

Sudden and Violent Deaths

Sudden and violent deaths as the name suggests, are those in which the person diessuddenly or unexpectedly, such as in the case described immediately above and alsoincludes accidental deaths. Violent deaths are those occurring under criminalcircumstances. All such deaths deemed to be “sudden” or “violent” fall under thejurisdiction of the law and require that a pathologist or equivalent officer perform a postmortem examination. From this examination, the Post Mortem Examination Report iscompleted and issued. Usually from this Post Mortem Examination Report, a Certificateof Coroner or Form D is completed, authorised by the Coroner’s Court. In cases whereculpability of a crime must be investigated, then a Form D will be issued in the interimshowing the cause of death. However, after a Coroner’s Inquest is complete then aCoroner’s Certificate or Form E is issued. The category “Uncertified Death” speaks tothose death registrations, most of which are incomplete, that have no associateddocument as previously described. Due to the delay in obtaining the Post MortemExamination Report, Form D or Form E in some “sudden and violent death” cases, theprocess known as “incomplete death registration” has evolved in response to thisproblem. Upon receipt of the proper supporting document for the death from theprescribed authorities, the registration is then completed and the event recorded in thevital statistics database.

For 2004 death registrations, 13,276 (94.5%) were certified by Medical Certificate ofCause of Death, 637 (4.5%) by Form D, 125 (0.9%) were uncertified, 11 (0.1%) by FormE and only one was certified by Post Mortem Report.(Table 11)

Place of Death

For this current reporting year, in addition to reporting place of death for registereddeaths, it is also reported for 2004 occurrences. The same basic trends are seen in bothtables.

As in previous reports, the place of death is categorised into three types: Public Hospital,Private Hospital. Public Hospitals are government-run institutions, that is, funded by thegovernment while Private, as the name suggests, are supported by non-government orprivate persons or entities. For the purpose of this report, public and private health

25

institutions are listed in the Appendices. All other places of deaths which are not specialhealth institutions as listed here are classified as “Other”.

In the table showing registered death, it is observed that the parishes with the highestpercentages of deaths registered and taking place in public hospitals were Kingston(80.2%), St. James (60.4%) and St. Thomas (48.8%) of their respective parish totals. Theleading parishes in respect of private institutions were Kingston, St. Andrew and St.James with 8.1%, 5.8% and 5.8% respectively. For death in other places, the leadingparishes were all from the Southern Region: Manchester (84.0%), St. Elizabeth (78.5%)and Clarendon (61.7%).

The average percentages for all parishes were Public (46.4%), Private (3.3%) and Other(50.3%). For the regions, the respective percentages were as follows: South Eastern -57.2%, 4.7% and 38.1%, North Eastern – 43.4%, 1.1% and 55.5%, Western – 50.5%,3.3% and 46.2% and Southern – 23.2%, 2.0% and 74.8%.

A comparable trend was seen for deaths occurring in the year 2004 where the parisheswith the highest percentages of public deaths were for the same three parishes as fordeaths registered with 81.5% (Kingston), 61.6% (St. James) and 51.0% (St. Thomas) fortheir respective parish totals. For private hospitals, the leading parishes were also thesame: Kingston, St. Andrew and St. James with 8.3%, 6.0% and 6.0%. For other placesof death, the top three parishes were again Manchester (84.2%), St. Elizabeth (77.8%)and Clarendon (61.2%).

The overall island percentages were Public (46.7%), Private (3.4%) and Other (49.9%).For regional percentages, these were as follows: South Eastern – 58.3%, 4.9% and36.8%, North Eastern – 43.2%, 1.0% and 55.8%, Western – 51.0%, 3.3% and 45.8% andSouthern – 23.4%, 2.0% and 74.7%.(Table 12 and 12a)

Parish of Residence

In 2004 eight parishes had over 90% of their deaths being registered in the same parish asthe parish of residence of the deceased. These were St. Catherine, St. Thomas, Portland,Westmoreland, Hanover, Trelawny, Clarendon and St. Elizabeth. In the previousreporting year, only one additional parish, St. Mary, had over 90% coincidence. Theparish of Kingston deviated drastically from this trend as it had only 33.2% coincidenceand most of its death registrations were for persons who resided in St. Andrew at 41.1%of all its registrations.(Table 13)

For 2004 death occurrences, the trend was the same for the eight parishes mentioned inthe previous paragraph. For Kingston, it had 32.9% coincidence and 41.4% of its deathswere persons who resided in St. Andrew.(Table 13a)

26

Age and Sex Classification

As indicated in last year’s report, two terms frequently used in the Mortality sections are“adult” and “infant”. The term “adult” as used in the context of this publication, refers toall individuals of the age 5 years and over. The term “infant” by international standardsusually refers to individuals under 1 year old. For ease of identification in this analysis,however, individuals under 1 year as well as those 1 to 4 years are referred to as“infants”. In Tables 14 to 14b, “infant” and “pre-school” deaths are referred to. Here,infant denotes the traditional “under 1 year” definition while “pre-school” relates to allother individuals in the under 5 age group.

There was a total of 14,050 deaths registered in 2004 and of that number 6,857 (48.8%)were adult males, 6,606 (47.0%) were adult females, 310 (2.2%) were infant males and277 (2.0%) were infant females. In the previous year, the proportions were only slightlydifferent at 7,408 (49.6%), 6,910 (46.2%), 341 (2.3%) and 280 (1.9%) respectively.

In 2004, adult deaths totalled 13,463 (95.8%) and infant deaths, 587 (4.2%). The previousyear’s respective figures were 14,318 (95.8%) and 621 (4.2%).(Tables 14a, 14b, 15a and 15c)

The following Chart 4 shows the age / sex distribution for 2004. It varies slightly fromlast year’s ratio of 50:46:2:2 and now reflects one of 49:47:2:2.

Leading Causes

In accordance with the “International Statistical Classification of Diseases and RelatedHealth Problems” coding procedures, the RGD currently classifies all cause of deathsusing the latest revision, ICD-10.

A significant number of deaths are assigned the “R99” code as a result of incomplete orno cause of death data on the death registration form. These incomplete registrations, asdescribed in the Introduction, exist as a result of the provision made for sudden andviolent deaths whose registrations are frequently delayed due to lengthy processessometimes associated with the completion of the supporting document needed forcomplete registration. Such delays are normally due to legal procedures.

Consequently, the R00-R99 category is recorded as being the cause of many more deathsthan it actually does in reality. Consequently, this category is routinely excluded fromthe leading causes of death tables.

The leading fourteen cause of deaths for infants and preschoolers in 2004 totalled 441which was 75.1% of all 587 of those deaths. This was a minimal decrease from theprevious year’s total of 481 or 77.5%. In 2002, the leading fourteen causes accounted for485 or 73.0% of the year’s total infant and preschool deaths.

As has been the trend, “Disorders relating to length of gestation and foetal growth” wasthe leading cause with 126 deaths in the current reporting year. Interestingly, the twocauses which followed, however, usually appear lower on the list of leading causes. Insecond and third position respectively were “Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)”with 41 deaths and “Respiratory distress of newborn” with 33. In the previous year, thesecond and third leading causes of death were “Congenital malformations of the heart”with 39 deaths and “Other congenital malformations” with 33. “Humanimmunodeficiency virus (HIV)” and “Respiratory distress of newborn” had been in theseventh and sixth positions with 26 and 28 deaths respectively.(Table 14)

Following previous years’ trends, the three leading causes of death for female adults in2004 were “Cerebrovascular disease” with 1,106 deaths (16.7%), “Diabetes mellitus”with 1,090 (16.5%) and “Hypertensive diseases” with 476 (7.2%). In 2003 these threecauses accounted for respective totals and percentages as follows: 1,109 (16.0%), 985(14.3%) and 532 (7.7%). In 2002 the respective values were: 1,077 (15.8%), 927 (13.6%)and 489 (7.2%).

The ten leading causes of death for adult females in 2004 accounted for 4,538 or 68.7%of all deaths in that category. This was an increase from the previous year’s value of4,525 or 65.5%. In 2002, the ten leading causes accounted for 4,290 or 63.1% of adultfemale deaths. Over the three-year period, this indicates an increase of 248 or 5.8%.(Table 15)

28

Turning to leading causes of death for adult males, it is observed that the top two are thesame as for adult females; however, the third leading cause is “Malignant neoplasm ofprostate”. “Cerebrovascular disease” is attributed to 878 or 12.8% of all adult maledeaths, “Diabetes mellitus” caused 606 or 8.8% and “Malignant neoplasm of prostate”529 or 7.7%. These were the same three top causes in 2003 and 2002, however, the orderdiffered. For 2003, it was “Cerebrovascular disease” with 888 (12.0%), “Malignantneoplasm of prostate” with 529 (7.1%) and “Diabetes mellitus” with 512 (6.9%). In 2002,“Cerebrovascular disease” had 828 (11.1%), “Diabetes mellitus” had 550 (7.4%) and“Malignant neoplasm of prostate” with 523 (7.0%).

The total for all ten leading causes for adult males in 2004 was 4,439 or 64.7% of alladult male deaths. In 2003, the total was 4,423 or 59.7% and in 2002 it was 4,251 or55.6%. This shows an increasing trend over the three-year period.(Table 15b)

Total Leading Causes of Deaths - Ages 5 to 100 years

The combination of Tables 15 and 15b gives the leading causes for male and femaleadults in Table 15d. Of all 13,463 adult deaths in 2004, “Cerebrovascular disease”accounts for 1,984 or 14.7%. Following was “Diabetes mellitus” with 1,696 or 12.6% and“Ischaemic heart disease” with 891 or 6.6%. In 2003 these were also the top three causesin the same order: “Cerebrovascular disease” - 1,997 or 13.9%, “Diabetes mellitus” -1,497 or 10.5% and “Ischaemic heart disease” - 953 or 6.7%.

In Graph 5, the fourteen leading cause of deaths for all adults are represented in order ofdescending magnitude. The data is taken from Table 15d.

The total number of deaths from the top fourteen causes for all adults was 9,526 or 70.8%of all adult deaths. In 2003 the corresponding total was 9,623 or 67.2% and in 2002, itwas 9,129 or 64.0%.

Graph 6 shows the trend for twelve of the leading causes over the 2002 to 2004 period. Itcan be seen that the number of deaths from “Cerebrovascular disease” was generallyconstant around the 2,000 mark. For “Diabetes mellitus” however, the total for 2002 and2003 was at about 1,500 while in 2004 it was significantly higher at around 1,700 deaths.Trends for “Ischaemic heart disease” and “Hypertensive diseases” were seen to fluctuatearound an average of about 900 for the three-year period. Finally, deaths due to theremaining seven causes were each generally of a constant value, at 900 deaths for “Otherheart disease” and 500 deaths and under for the others.(Table 15d)

Leading Causes of Deaths by Major Categories - Ages 5 to 100 years

In addition to examining cause of deaths with respect to individual causes, it is alsomeaningful to look at the distribution of deaths across the major categories. Deaths arecollated according to the nineteen major cause categories of the ICD-10 system.

As with the previous year’s distribution pattern, “Diseases of the circulatory system”,“Neoplasms” and “Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases” were the three leadingmajor categories for adult females in 2004. They had the following respectivecontributions: 2,561 (38.8%), 1,250 (18.9%) and 1,180 (17.9%); percentages being of thetotal number of adult female deaths. In 2003 these categories also led with: 2,614(37.8%), 1,222 (17.7%) and 1,087 (15.7%). For the “Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic

30

diseases” category, the total is elevated mainly due to the presence of Diabetes mellitus inthe category.

The top three major categories for adult female deaths accounted for 4,991 or 75.6% ofall adult female deaths in 2004. For the previous year, they accounted for 4,923 or 71.2%.(Table 15e)

The corresponding data for adult male deaths was similar in that the three leadingcategories were the same. Their contributions were as follows: “Diseases of thecirculatory system” with 2,275 (33.2%), “Neoplasms” with 1,548 (22.6%) and“Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases” with 692 (10.1%). The two leading majorcategories were the same for the previous year: “Diseases of the circulatory system” with2,317 (31.3%) and “Neoplasms” with 1,638 (22.2%). The third leading category,however, was “Diseases of the respiratory system” with 629 (8.5%).

The three leading major categories combined totalled 4,515 or 65.9% of all adult maledeaths. Previously it had been 4,584 or 61.9%.(Table 15f)

The combined data for adult males and females yielded the same results for the threeleading cause of deaths. “Diseases of the circulatory system” were attributed to 4,836(35.9%), “Neoplasms” with 2,798 (20.8%) and “Endocrine, nutritional and metabolicdiseases” with 1,872 (13.9%). This is comparable to the previous year’s values of 4,931(34.4%), 2,860 (20.0%) and 1,711 (11.9%) respectively.

Combined, the leading three major categories accounted for 9,506 deaths or 70.6% of alladult deaths. In the previous year, they accounted for 9,502 or 66.4% of all adult deaths.(Table 15g)

Eight-year trend 1997-2004

Over the 1997 to 2004 eight-year period, total deaths registered fluctuated between a highof 17,387 in 1999 to a low of 14,050 in the current reporting year. The highest increasewas experienced in 1999 with 1,190 or 7.3% of the previous year. The highest decreasewas in the year 2002 with a decline of 1,273 or 7.9%. The total decline from 1997 to2004 was by 1,037 or 6.9%.(Table 1 F)

In Chart 5, the trends in total deaths registered are shown for all parishes over the eight-year period. The same observations are seen as in Graph 7 for Kingston, St. Andrew andSt. Catherine. In respect of details for the other parishes it can be seen that St. Thomaswas generally constant around a little over 500 deaths. Portland fluctuated minimallyaround the 450 mark. St. Mary increased and then decreased through 1997 to 2004 andaveraged around 650. Westmoreland showed a general trend of decline from 906 to 685.Hanover declined from 365 to 296 with an average of 330 deaths. St. James fluctuateddrastically with a high of 1,464 in 2000 and a low of 1,001 in 2003 and averaged 1,233.Trelawny was generally constant with an average of 395 deaths. Clarendon fluctuatedfrom a high of 1,193 in 2001 to a low of 974 in 1997. Manchester averaged 1,309 butalso saw a significant overall increase of 321.

Graph 8 shows totaldeaths registered in eachyear from 1997 to 2004.The total is seen tofluctuate over the eight-year period. It increasessharply in 1998 from15,087 to 16,197. In thefollowing year, it againincreases significantly to17,387. In 2000, itdeclines sharply to 16,338and minimally in 2001 to16,204. The year 2002sees another significantdecline to 14,931 while in2003 there is nosignificant change when atotal of 14,939 wereregistered. In the current

year, there is another significant decline to 14,050.

Deaths Reported by the Police

As has been the procedure since 2002, the RGD receives Sudden and Violent death datafrom the Jamaica Constabulary Force, specifically through the ConstabularyCommunication Network (CCN) and includes the presentation of this data along withdata from RGD’s database. The CCN provides the RGD with data from its database forthe specified reporting year for the following Sudden and Violent death categories: i)Fatal Shootings, ii) Motor Vehicle Accidents, iii) Murder and iv) Suicide.

The deaths reported by the Police are presented in this section, by themselves and alsocombined with RGD’s death data. Only police data which is unique to RGD’s data isadded however, since some of these deaths have already been registered by the RGD.

There were a total of 1,981 deaths reported by the police in 2004. In the previous year,1,560 deaths were reported which indicates a significant increase of 421 or 27.0%. Atotal of 1,679 were reported in 2002 which indicated a minimal decline of 119 or 7.1%from 2002 to 2003. Overall from 2002 to 2004 there was an increase of 302 or 18.0%.

Regions

For 2004, as is expected, the South Eastern region accounted for 1,274 or 64.3% of alldeaths reported by the police. In the previous year, this region had 952 or 61.0% of the

1,560 deaths for the entire island. This is an absolute increase of 322 or 33.9% from 2003to 2004.

Of all South Eastern deaths, Kingston, St. Andrew and St. Catherine accounted for 1,238or 97.2% of that region’s deaths or 62.5% of the island’s deaths. For 2003, thecorresponding value was 916 or 96.2% of regional total and 58.8% of all police-reporteddeaths.

In respect of the remaining regions, the Western region had 317 (16.0%) police-reporteddeaths, the Southern region had 256 (12.9%) and the North Eastern had 134 or 6.8%. In2003, the respective values were: Western – 282 (18.1%), Southern – 226 (14.5%) andNorth Eastern – 100 (6.4%).

Examination of the data by month of occurrence, reveals that October and June were theleading months with 200 deaths (10.1%) and 199 deaths (10.0%) respectively.Conversely, March had the lowest number with 121 or 6.1%.(Table 15h)

Police and RGD Data Combined

As mentioned at the beginning of this section, the police-reported deaths are matchedagainst RGD’s database. This is done using certain key identifier fields. Table 15j is aresult of this matching process and is a summary of the police-reported data without thesematches. Of the 1,981 death total for 2004, there were 199 matches and the uniquepolice-reported deaths totalled 1,782. In the previous year, there were 191 matches and1,369 unique death occurrences.(Table 15i)

The next process was to combine the unique data with RGD’s death occurrences for2004. Table 15j therefore is a combination of Table 10 and 15i. This is the addition of the13,364 (Table 10) and 1,782 (Table 15i) which totals 15,146 deaths. This complementrepresents all 2004 death occurrences. For 2003, the combination of RGD and police-reported data totalled 16,036.(Table 15j)

Police Data – Cause of Death by Sex and Age Groups

The police-reported data with respect to underlying cause of death is presented in Table15k, 15l and 15m. The data represented applies to the 1,782 unique deaths. This indicatedan increase of 413 or 30.2% over the previous year’s total of 1,369 deaths. Of the 1,782deaths, there were 303 deaths attributed to “Transport accidents”, 40 deaths to“Intentional self harm” or suicide 1,333 deaths to “Assault” and 106 deaths to “All otherexternal causes”.(Table 15k)

35

Males

Of all 1,782 unique police-report deaths, 1,579 or 88.6% of the deceased were males. Ofthis total, there were 240 victims of “Transport accidents”, 31 of “Intentional self harm”,1,202 of “Assault” and 106 of “All other external causes”. Previously there were 1,210(83.4%) male police-reported deaths, 270 of which were due to “Transport accidents”, 43due to “Intentional self harm”, 783 due to “Assault” and 114 due to “All other externalcauses”. Immediately, it is observed that the only category that increased was “Assault”.(Table 15l)

Females

Of the 1,782 unique police-report deaths, 203 or 11.4% of the deceased were females. Ofthis total, there were 63 victims of “Transport accidents”, 9 victims of “Intentional selfharm” and 131 victims of “Assault”. Previously, there were a total of 159 police-reporteddeaths, “Transport accidents” caused 70 deaths, “Intentional self harm” caused 9,“Assault” caused 78 and “All other external causes” caused 2 deaths. Again, the onlycategory to increase was “Assault”.(Table 15m)

Deaths by Cause and Residence of Deceased

This is the most recently added section of the report. It presents data on the deathsregistered in the current reporting year by cause of death and parish of residence ofdeceased. When considering facets of vital statistics, it is thought to be more beneficial toconsider location of residence rather than location of occurrence of the event. In theutilisation of vital statistics in planning, the location of occurrence lends itself to offerdirect information on exactly where services are needed and where preventative programsneed to be implemented. Therefore, in the case of births, data on parish of residence ofmother can indicate where an additional hospital or birthing facility is needed. Trends inmortality data by residence of deceased can also inform as to the degree to which theresidence of specific areas are being affected and by which diseases.

The new tables presented in this section of the report present mortality data for adults(individuals 5 years and over) by cause according to ICD-10 and by parish of residenceof deceased. The data is presented for all deaths registered in 2004.

The first Table 15n shows all adult female deaths by cause and parish of residence ofdeceased. Here, the distributions across each parish can be seen for each ICD-10 categoryfor the 6,606 adult female deaths.

Table 15o shows all adult male deaths by cause and parish of residence of deceased. Thedistributions for these deaths are seen for the 6,857 adult male deaths.

It can be observed that“Cerebrovascular disease” and “Diabetes mellitus” both make significant contributions toeach parish’s death total. Additionally, for Kingston and St. James, “Humanimmunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease” also contributed a significant number of deathstoward those parishes’ top ten totals.

MARRIAGES

In 2004, there were 21,670 marriages registered in Jamaica. This is a decline of 806 or3.6% from the previous year’s total of 22,476. In 2002, a total of 23,070 marriages wereregistered. This indicates a decline of 594 or 2.6% from 2002 to 2003 and an overalldecline of 1,400 or 6.1% from 2002 to 2004.

The Western region again led the regional contribution to the marriage total with 9,005 or41.6%. Next came the North Eastern, South Eastern and Southern regions with 5,536(25.5%), 5,187 (23.9%) and 1,942 (9.0%) respectively. In 2003, the regional trend wasthe same with the contributions for Western being 9,375 (41.7%), North Eastern with5,779 (25.7%), South Eastern with 5,361 (23.9%) and Southern with 1,961 (8.7%).(Table 2)

37

The three leading parishes for marriages in 2004 were St. James, St. Ann andWestmoreland with 4,075 (18.8%), 3,969 (18.3%) and 2,719 (12.5%) respectively. Theparish with the least marriages was Portland with 258 or 1.2%. In the previous year, therewere slight differences with the leading parishes being St. Ann with 4,349 (19.3%), St.James with 4,229 (18.8%) and Westmoreland with 2,833 (12.6%). Portland was in lastposition with 284 marriages or 1.3%.

Examination of the marriages by quarter reveals that the second quarter led with 5,961(27.5%), followed by the third quarter with 5,330 (24.6%), then the fourth quarter with5,233 (24.1%) and finally the first quarter with 5,146 (23.8%). In the previous year, thiswas the same trend with the respective contributions: second quarter – 6,178 (27.5%),third quarter – 5,883 (26.2%), fourth quarter – 5,739 (25.5%) and first quarter with 4,676(20.8%).(Table 16b)

Hotel Marriages

Since the early days of the tourism industry of Jamaica in the nineteen fifties until presentday, tourism continues to be an important part of the country’s economy. As a result ofsustained marketing of Jamaica’s product and even in the face of social instability due tothe country’s increasing crime problem, tourists continue to visit the island in significantnumbers.

Many of these visitors choose to exchange nuptials during their stay in Jamaica. In thisreport, all marriages which take place in hotels, villas, lodge, cottage or any other relatedcommercial residential property are deemed to be “Hotel” marriages. By virtue of thisdefinition, locals who get married in hotels are also included in these statistics. It isbelieved, however, that the percentage of locals in this group is very small.

Hotel marriages totalled 9,566 or 44.1% in 2004 while the remaining marriages totalled12,104 or 55.9%. This was a minimal deviation from the previous year’s totals andpercentages of 10,037 or 44.7% for Hotel marriages and 12,439 or 55.3%.

The parishes with the highest percentages of hotel marriages were Westmoreland, St.Ann, Hanover and St. James with 1,998 (73.5%), 2,711 (68.3%), 1,102 (65.8%) and2,550 (62.6%) of those parishes totals respectively. In 2003, these four parishes led,however, in different positions: St. Ann with 3,128 (71.9%), Hanover with 1,204(71.6%), Westmoreland with 1,997 (70.5%) and St. James with 2,575 (60.9%).(Table 16a)

Chart 7 shows the six leading parishes for hotel marriages in 2004. The parishes indescending order of number of hotel marriages are: St. Ann with 2,711, St. James with2,550, Westmoreland with 1,998, Hanover with 1,102, St. Mary with 739 and Trelawnywith 210.

In the previous year, the respective values were: St. Ann with 3,128, St. James with2,575, Westmoreland with 1,997, Hanover with 1,204, St. Mary with 592 and Trelawnywith 279.

Solemnisation

In Jamaica, a marriage must be legalised or “solemnised” by way of a document knownas the licence or authority. Currently there are five types used: Marriage Officer’sCertificate, Special Marriage Licence, Minister’s Licence, Civil Registrar’s Certificateand Inarticulo Mortis. The particulars of these licences are explained in the Appendices.

In 2004, there were 7,793 (36.0%) marriages solemnised using the Marriage Officer’sCertificate, 1,032 (4.7%) using Special Marriage Licence, 12,435 (57.4%) usingMinister’s Licence, 410 (1.9%) using Civil Registrar Certificate and there were noInarticulo Mortis marriages. In the previous year, there were 7,878 (35.0%) marriagesusing Marriage Officer’s Certificate, 921 (4.1%) using Special Marriage Licence, 13,206(58.8%) using Minister’s Licence, 471 (2.1%) using Civil Registrar’s Certificate andthere were also no Inarticulo Mortis marriages. Due to the convenience of the Minister’s

39

Licence, it is usually the licence of choice for tourist marriages, making its contributionrelatively high when compared to the other types of licences.(Table 16)

Month of Occurrence

The three most popular months for marriages in 2004 were July with 2,318 (10.7%), Junewith 2,275 (10.5%) and December with 2,216 (10.2%). Conversely, September had theleast marriages with 899 or 4.1%.

In 2003, the top three months were December, August and June with 2,632 (11.7%),2,473 (11.0%) and 2,113 (9.4%) and the least popular month was January with 1,271 or5.7%.

For 2002, December, June and July led with 2,691 (11.7%), 2,312 (10.0%) and 2,198(9.5%) while September had the lowest number at 1,442 (6.3%).(Table 17)

Age at Marriage

As with the previous year’s trend, the age groups with the highest number of grooms in2004 were the 25-29, 30-34 and 35-39 with 5,149 (23.8%), 4,975 (23.0%) and 3,457(16.0%) respectively. In 2003, these same groups had respective totals of 5,278 (23.5%),5,264 (23.4%) and 3,631 (16.2%). In 2002, they had 5,621 (24.4%), 5,564 (24.1%) and3,624 (15.7%) respectively.

In respect of brides married in 2004, the leading age groups were the 25-29, 30-34 and20-24 with respective values of 5,782 (26.7%), 4,593 (21.2%) and 3,651 (16.8%). Thesame age groups led in the same order for 2003 with 5,978 (26.6%), 4,771 (21.2%) and3,873 (17.2%). In the previous year these age groups had totals of 6,266 (27.2%), 5,135(22.3%) and 3,951 (17.1%) respectively.(Table 18)

Joint Parishes of Residence

For the 2004 marriage data by joint parish of residence of groom and bride, the data ispresented in Table 19. It shows that for most parishes the level of coincidence betweenparish of residence of both groom and bride was above 90% for all parishes exceptKingston and Clarendon where it was 79.7% and 89.9% respectively.

41

St. James had the highest number of grooms and brides residing in that parish bothseparately and jointly, with totals of 3,955 brides from that parish, a total of 3,940grooms from that parish and a total of 3,888 couples who were both from that parish.(Table 19)

Denomination

In respect of denomination of the marriages occurring in 2004, the single leadingcategories overall were Church of God (2,521), Baptist (2,315) and United Church(2,310). Note that the “Other” category, which comprises all other denominations notspecified in Table 20, led with 7,915 marriages.

Observation of parish trends reveals that St. Thomas, St. Mary, St. Elizabeth andTrelawny each had its single leading denomination being Baptist. In addition to being theoverall leader, the Church of God group led in St. Ann, Clarendon and Westmoreland. InSt. Andrew and St. Catherine the leading group was the Seventh Day Adventist while inManchester and Hanover, the United Church led the way.
