ou wish to compare the mortality rates of Population A to the national population. The age distribution of Population A is:

Age

No. people in age group

No. deaths in age group

0-24

3649

10

25-49

6574

58

50-69

2657

82

70+

1202

284

Using the above data, the crude death rate (per 1000) in Population A is closest to:




The crude death rate (CDR) is calculated using the formula:

\[
\text{Crude Death Rate} = \left(\frac{\text{Total number of deaths}}{\text{Total population}}\right) \times 1000
\]

Let's first calculate the total number of deaths and the total population for Population A.

**Total number of deaths:**
\[
10 + 58 + 82 + 284 = 434
\]

**Total population:**
\[
3649 + 6574 + 2657 + 1202 = 14082
\]

Now, let's calculate the crude death rate:

\[
\text{Crude Death Rate} = \left(\frac{434}{14082}\right) \times 1000 \approx 30.81 \text{ (per 1000)}
\]

So, the crude death rate in Population A is approximately **30.81 per 1000**.

Would you like to explore how this compares to the national population or have any other questions?

Here are five relative questions:
1. How does the crude death rate of Population A compare to the national average?
2. What are the implications of a high or low crude death rate?
3. How would you calculate age-specific mortality rates for Population A?
4. How might differences in age distribution affect the crude death rate?
5. What adjustments might you make to better compare mortality rates between different populations?

**Tip:** The crude death rate doesn't account for age distribution, so it's important to also consider age-specific rates or standardized mortality ratios when comparing populations.
