Question

Find the age · specific Death Rates for the following data : 

Age group (in years)	Population	number of deaths
0 - 20	7000	140
20 - 45	20000	180
45 - 65	10000	120
65 and above	4000	160

Answer 1

Computation of Age-specific death rate is shown in the following table. 

Age group (in years)	Population	number of deaths	Age - SDR per thousand `"No.of.deaths"/"Population" xx 1000`
0 - 20	7000	140	`140/7000 xx 1000 = 20`
20 - 45	20000	180	`180/20000 xx 1000 = 9`
45 - 65	10000	120	`120/10000 xx 1000 = 12`
65 and above	4000	160	`160/4000 xx 1000 = 40`
