What is an IVC filter? The inferior vena cava (IVC) is a large vein in the middle of the abdomen. The IVC returns blood from your lower body to your heart. IVC filters are âbasketsâ that are made of many wires (see picture). The filter can be inserted into the IVC through a small hole in a vein in the neck or the groin.
1. Crude Divorce Rate. This number refers to the number of divorces per 1,000 people in a population. The crude annual divorce rate is currently around 3.6 divorces for every 1,000 people in the US, regardless of age. The age-adjusted crude divorce rate is currently thirteen divorces for every 1,000 people age fifteen and older.
Divorce rates are better to look at - this is a rate of divorces per 1,000 married people in the country. The chart below shows the divorce rate from 1971-2012. If you look at where the line goes up there's an interesting - if small - trend: there are peaks in the early 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and the increase in 2010 before the slight drop with the 2011 rate.
