A. Hypothetical average number of children a woman would have if she experienced current age-specific fertility rates throughout her reproductive life
B. Ratio of births to deaths in a population
C. Number of births per 1,000 women aged 15-49
D. Actual average number of children born per woman in a cohort
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
TFR is a period measure summing ASFRs across all reproductive ages (typically 15-49), estimating the average completed family size if current fertility patterns persist, crucial for population projections.
Explanation:
Per WHO definition, perinatal mortality includes late fetal deaths (stillbirths) from 28 completed weeks of gestation and early neonatal deaths (first 7 days), capturing risks around birth.
