Question

Compute Crude Death Rate and Standardised Death Rate for the following data:

Answer 1

Crude death rate (C.D.R)

C.D.R = \(\frac {\textit{No.of deaths occuring in the year}}{\textit{Average population in the year}} \times 1000\)

S.D.R =\(\frac{∑PA}{∑P}\); Where P – standard population, A – age specific death rate

CDR(A) =\(\frac{3640}{120,000}\) x 1000 = 30.33
SDR (B) =\(\frac{2,92,000}{95,000}\) = 30.82.
