Age-adjusted Mortality Rate per 100,000 population

This indicator shows the total age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 population due to all causes.
Why is this important?
Mortality or death rates are often used as measures of health status for a population.Many factors affect the risk of death, including age, race,gender, occupation, education, and income. One of the strongest factors affecting the risk of death is age. Populations often differ in age composition. A "young" population has a higher proportion of persons in the younger age groups, while an "old" population has a higher proportion in the older age groups. Age-adjusted rates are valuable when comparing the mortality experience between different geographic areas, causes, race/hispanic origin groups or time periods.
