Vital Statistics

 

Vital events are defined as births, deaths, spontaneous fetal deaths (miscarriages), induced terminations of pregnancy (abortions), marriages, and marriage dissolutions (divorces or annulments). Statistics of vital events provide a unique source of information about the health, behavior, and wellness of the Colorado population. The monitoring of such major life events provides users with data for charting trends, identifying and researching health concerns, and allocating resources.
