Vital events are usually recorded by designated officials, such as registrars, who collect information from various sources:
- Births: Information is often collected from hospitals and midwives. - Deaths: Data are typically gathered from medical practitioners, coroners, and funeral homes. - Marriages and Divorces: These are recorded through civil registration offices.
The collected data include key demographic details such as age, sex, and place of occurrence, which are essential for epidemiological analysis.
