Study Notes
Crude Death Rate
- A general measure of the health of a population
- Not suitable for comparing different populations or areas
- Age significantly impacts mortality data
- Different age distributions across populations impact results
- Age-adjusted mortality rates are used for comparative analysis.
Why use Crude Death Rate (CDR)?
- Easy to understand
- Requires minimal data
- Helps understand mortality's impact on population growth
Crude Death Rate Example
- Average deaths in 2022: 2,500
- Midpoint date: July 1, 2022
- Estimated population on July 1, 2022: 150,645
