Question 68 (part 2) · LEK · Demographic indicators
The overall mortality in 2020 in city A is expressed by a mortality rate of 110/10000, and in city B, in the same year the mortality rate was 100/10000. A credible interpretation of the observed difference in overall mortality is not possible without taking into account:
- A. the number of inhabitants in both cities in 2020.
- B. mortality in both cities in the year preceding the recorded coefficients.
- C. death structures for the four most common causes in both cities in 2020.
- D. age structure of the inhabitants of both cities in 2020.
- E. mortality due to the four most common causes in both cities in 2020.
Hint
Crude death rates are strongly shaped by one demographic feature of a population; think of standardisation.
