On the basis of a centralized registration of pregnant women early in pregnancy, it is possible with adequate certainty to predict the birth rate 1/2-1 year in advance. On this basis, it has been calculated that the birth rate in the county of Frederiksborg, Denmark (population as of January 1, 1980--329,141 persons) will fall by 16% during the first 1/2 of 1981 as compared with the first 1/2 of 1980. As far as alterations in the birth rate for the county are concerned, they follow, by and large, the alterations seen in Denmark as a whole; thus a fall in birth rate is to be anticipated in the country as a whole.
