The aim of this article is to analyze some Demographic and Health Indexes in Chadegan district during 2004-2009. Methods: This was a descriptive study and the target population was the population of Chadegan district from 2004-2009. Data collection was done according to registered data in the Health Center of Chadegan district and then the data were analyzed. Findings: The population of the district has decreased dramatically during the 6 years. Crude birth rate in 2004 was14.2/1000 and 15.4 in 2009, crude mortality rate in 2004 was 4.8 and in 2009 4.4, infant mortality rate was 26.7 in 2004 and 16.7 in 2009 and mortality rate under five years of age in 2004 was 29.4 and in 2009 it was18.2 .  Family planning coverage in 2004 was 73.5% and 71.5% in 2009. The sex ratio was 98.5 in 2004  and 99.2 in 2009. Moreover, the gross regeneration rate was 0.34 in 2004 and 0.35 in 2009. Conclusion: The reduction in population growth was due to a variety of reasons, including migration, economic factors, social, cultural and health, population policies and a set of factors outlined above. Cover family planning in the city has undergone many changes and this has different causes. The weakness and lack of health facilities in the region has made indexes such as mortality rates at a high level in comparison to the province and the country.
