Question

Calculate the age-standardized all-cause mortality in the US in 1950 and 2018 using the age-distribution Census as standard. Table 1. Age-specific all-cause mortality per 1,000 population in the United States, in 1968, and 2016.* Age groups (years) 0-34 35-64 65+ Crude all-cause mortality 1968 1.6 8.6 61.4 9.7 2016 0.8 5.0 40.7 8.5 *For didactic purposes, in real life the more age groups the better. Crude mortality rate ratio-9785-1 14, indicating that the mortality in the US would be 14% higher in 1 2016. Table 2. Distribution of the US 2000 Census population in 3 broad age-groups (as fraction of 1) (for didad purposes, in real life the more age groups the better) Age groups (in years) 0-34 35-64 65+ Weights 0.013818 0.055317 0.072533 What was the age-adjusted (to the 2000 Census population) all-cause mortality in the US in 1968 QUESTION 2 What was the age-adjusted (to the 2000 US Census population) all-cause mortality in 2016?

Explanation / Answer

1) The age adjusted all cause mortality in 1968 is calculated by multiplying proportion of population with age specific death rates and then adding up all the age specific death rates as follows,

Therefore, the age adjusted all cause mortality in the year 1968 is,

= 0.0221088 + 0.4757262 + 4.4535262

= 4.951362

2) Similarly, the age adjusted all cause mortality in the year 2016 is calculated as follows,

= 0.0110544 + 0.276755 + 2.9520931

= 3.2399025
