STANDARDIZED MORTALITY RATE BY AGE (65 and more years) - It involves the application of crude death rate by age (65 and more years), a standard population (65 and more years) whose age structure is fixed and distributed in the same age groups the crude death rates (expressed as deaths per 100 000 inhabitants). The calculus is based on standard European population (2013 version) defined by EUROSTAT. As a rule, the mortality rates are not calculated when the place of residence or age are unknown. |
