Question

Calculate the age-standardized all-cause mortality in the US in 1950 and 2018 using the age-distribution of the 2000 US 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-9.7/8.5 2016. 1.14, indicating that the mortality in the US would be 14% higher in 1968 than Table 2. Distribution of the US 2000 Census population in 3 broad age-groups (as fraction of 1) (for didactic purposes, in real life the more age groups the better). Weights Age groups (in years) 0-34 35-64 65+ 0.013818 0.055317 0.072533 What was the age-adjusted (to the 2000 Census population) all-cause mortality in the US in 19687

Explanation / Answer

Answer

Question.No.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

Question.No.2)

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

= 0.0110544 + 0.276755 + 2.9520931

= 3.2399025

Question.No.3

Ratio =4.951÷3.2399

=1.532
