Question

Find the Age-Specific Death Rate (Age-SDR) for the following data :

Age groups (in years)	Population (in '000)	Number of deaths
1 - 10	11	240
10 - 20	12	150
20 -60	9	125
60 and above	2	90

Answer 1

We present the computation in the following table 

Age group	Population `n^px`	No of Deaths  `n^D x`	Age – SDR per thousand  =`(n^Dx)/(n^p x)xx1000`
0-10	11000	240	21.81
10-20	12000	150	12.50
20-60	9000	125	13.88
60 and above	2000	90	45.00
