Question

For the following data calculate standardized death rates. Hence find which locality is more healthier.

Answer 1

Let A and B be the ASDR of locality A and Locality B P – the standard population Then, SDR(A) =\(\frac{∑PA}{∑P}\)
SDR (B) =\(\frac{∑PB}{∑P}\)

SDR (A) = \(\frac{1945000}{105000}\) = 18.5238

SDR (B) =\(\frac{1900000}{1050000}\) = 18.095

Here, SDR(B) < SDR (A) 

Locality B is healthier.
