The Infant Mortality Rate is low due to advances in healthcare, including improved prenatal care, access to vaccinations, and better management of maternal health. Enhanced sanitation, nutrition, and education also contribute significantly to healthier pregnancies and environments for newborns. Additionally, public health initiatives and awareness campaigns have further reduced risks associated with childbirth and infancy. Overall, these factors create a safer landscape for infants, resulting in lower mortality rates.

What causes of infant mortality rate?
Infant mortality is how many children die before the age of 5. It is measured by Amount of children dying per 1000 people. A low infant mortality rate is common in more developed countries where health care and simple things such as diet are good. However a high infant mortality rate would be common in underdeveloped countries which have bad health care and food is hard to get hold of. Generally countries in Africa will have a high infant mortality rate as the countries are poorer. So a high/large infant mortality rate is basically a lot of children dying before the age of five per 1000 people.
Why is infant mortality a good indicator of a country's population?

Why is the infant mortality rate so high in Turkmenistan?
Turkmenistan is a third world country. It lacks most medicines and proper nutrition for infants.
How does GDP tend to affect life expectancy and infant mortality rate?
The more GDP the longer the life expectancy because more services like healthcare and hospitals are available so this means people can receive medication, therefore their diseases are cured, thus avoiding death. As fore infant mortality rate I'm not entirely sure but I think if there is more GDP then there should be reduction in the rate of infant mortality because perhaps the facilities/ services of healthcare will educate people about protection and such.
What are uses of health measurement in public health?
We need to be able to compare data in the health field so there are standard formulas of health such as infant mortality rate.
Why was the life expectancy so low in 1900?
Life expectancy was low in 1900 due to high infant mortality rates, limited medical advancements, lack of access to clean water and sanitation, prevalence of infectious diseases, poor living conditions, and limited availability of healthcare services. These factors contributed to higher mortality rates across all age groups, resulting in the overall low life expectancy.
What country has the highest mortality rate?
Mortality means to die. Everyone in every country dies, so all countries have 100% mortality rate.

What is the level of helth in Iceland?
I assume you mean 'health'. Life expectancy in Iceland is among the highest in the world and the infant mortality rate is the lowest. So I think it's safe to say that the level of health in Iceland is very high.
