Question

In the following table, you are presented with complete age-specific data for a Standard Population. However, for Community X within this standard population, you have available the population age breakdown, and total number of deaths BUT are missing key age-specific deaths. Standard Po Community X Age Group Population Deaths Population Deaths 24 4-44 45-64 65-74 75+ 3400 6200 7100 7600 45 36 67 276 516 3400 600 6700 4900 2400 123 456 834 Please answer the following questions based on the above data. What is the crude mortality rate in the Standard Population? O A. 35 per 1000 O B. 14 per 1000 O C. 30 per 1000 O D. 40 per 1000 Submit Answer What is the crude mortality rate in Community X? O A. 45 per 1000 O B. 14 per 1000 OC, 34 per 1000 O D. 40 per 1000 Submit Answer After applying indirect standardization techniques to these data, the following SMR is obtained comparing the mortality risk in Community X with the Standard Population: O A. 3.5 O B. 1.4 O C. 3.0 O D. 4.0 Submit Answer

Explanation / Answer

1)crude mortality rate in std population =963/27400=0.035 ~ 35 per 1000

2) crude mortality rate in community X =834/24200=0.034 ~34 per 1000

3)

hence SMR =observed death/expected death =834/585.58 = 1.4

option B

crude std population mortaility community age group pop. deaths rate (p) pop. (n) expected deaths(np) 0-4 1000 23 0.0230 1200 27.60 5-24 2100 45 0.0214 3400 72.86 24-44 3400 36 0.0106 5600 59.29 45-64 6200 67 0.0108 6700 72.40 65-74 7100 276 0.0389 4900 190.48 75+ 7600 516 0.0679 2400 162.95 total 27400 963 24200 585.58
