Question
Bonus: (3 points) mortality from 2000 to 2013 among white men ages 45 to 54 in North Carolina. the authors as "deaths of despair"- i.e., deaths stemming from suicide in class today, a study by the Department of Public Health at East Carolina University, that found a 6 percent rise in This trend in increasing mortality is referred to by e (associated with rates increased by 50%) and liver diseas king by nearly 40%) Other factors contributing to this increase in mortality include heart disease, lung cancer, diabetes, and lack of medical insurance. Highest rates of mortality were published in the North Carolina Medical Journal. found in state's most economically distressed counties. These findings were #1·This " calculated). 6% increase in mortality is which type of mortality rate? In Chapter 4, we learnt of many different ways mortality rates are #2. If 40% of the deaths were from liver disease, what type of mortality rate is this? #3. Given the various causes for this increase in mortality, Make up your own data, and create a question problem that will allow the class (your colleagues) to calculate either Relative Risk (RR) or Attributable risk (AR) for any one of the risk factors discussed above.Explanation / Answer
Answer1.
Age-specific mortality rate
An age-specific mortality rate is a mortality rate limited to a particular age group. The numerator is the number of deaths in that age group; the denominator is the number of persons in that age group in the population. In the North Carolina from 2000 to 2013, a total of 6% mortality increased among persons aged 45-54 years, or an age-specific mortality rate of 6000 per 100,000 in 45-54 year olds.
Answer2.
Cause-specific mortality rate
The cause-specific mortality rate is the mortality rate from a specified cause for a population. The numerator is the number of deaths attributed to a specific cause. The denominator remains the size of the population at the midpoint of the time period. The fraction is usually expressed per 100,000 population.
as in this case 40% of people died due to liver cancer, So the liver cancer is specific cause for the death in a population. Around 40000 people in a population died of this specific cause.
