The maternal mortality ratio in Afghanistan in 2010 was 460. The reported ratio from UNICEF?æbetween 2008 and 2012 was?æ330.?æ
the ratio of death in an area to the population of the area
A ratio is simply a comparison between 2 numbers. Example- 4:3 A proportion is 2 fractions equal to each other or "proportionate".
number of deaths by total number of deaths in a population
The scale of the project was very much proportionate.
maternal deaths in a particular time period __________________________________ x 1,00,000 live birth in that same period
Not all that common. Ratio is around 1 in 1 000 000.
disproportionate
The prefix of "proportionate" is "pro-".
The 2 most frequently used measures of maternal death are maternal mortality rate and maternal mortality ratio.The maternal mortality rate is defined as the number of maternal deaths in a given time period per 100,000 women of reproductive age, or woman-years of risk exposure, in same time period.The maternal mortality ratio is the number of maternal deaths during given time period per 100,000 live birthsduring the same time. This measure only captures the risk of death of a woman once she is pregnant - in other words, the obstetric risk. It does not reflect, the risk of pregnancy or fertility The 2 most frequently used measures of maternal death are maternal mortality rate and maternal mortality ratio.The maternal mortality rate is defined as the number of maternal deaths in a given time period per 100,000 women of reproductive age, or woman-years of risk exposure, in same time period.The maternal mortality ratio is the number of maternal deaths during given time period per 100,000 live birthsduring the same time.

Not in absolute terms. Consider the volume of a feather duvet (or downie). But for a given substance, the mass and volume will be proportionate.
