Terms and Definitions
This term refers to the measure of number of deaths in a particular population, scaled to the size of that population, per unit time. Often presented as deaths per 1,000 or 1,000,000 populations, it is a vital index to analyze health status of a nation.
This refers to the specific reason for a person's death, which could range from diseases, such as heart disease or cancer, to external causes, such as accidents or violence. In a statistical context, cause of death is a significant measure for understanding health trends and concerns in a population.
This refers to the average number of years a person is expected to live, based on current mortality rates in a particular place. It is an important statistical measure that gives an overview of the overall health and wellbeing of a country's population.
This term refers to the number of deaths among infants under one year old per 1,000 live births in a particular year. This rate is a critical indicator of a country's health status as it represents the health care available to mothers and newborns and socio-economic conditions.
This term refers to the total number of deaths per year per 1,000 people. As a 'crude' rate, it does not account for age distribution within a population and hence may not accurately reflect the mortality risk for different age groups.
This term refers to the total number of deaths per year in a specific age group per 1,000 people in that age group. This is a more precise measure than the crude death rate as it accounts for age distribution, offering insights into the mortality risks faced by different age groups in a population.
This is a measure used to compare mortality rates across different populations or over different time periods. It is calculated as the percentage ratio between observed deaths in the study population and expected deaths in a standard population.
This term refers to the study and assessment of the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations based on mortality rates and death statistics. It helps in developing and implementing public health programs and disease prevention strategies.
