The number of deaths in the population divided by the average population (or the population at midyear) is the crude death rate. In 1994, for example, the crude death rate per 1,000 population was 8.8 in the United States, 7.1 in Australia, etc. A death rate can also be tabulated according to age or cause.

The number of children dying under a year of age divided by the number of live births that year. The infant death rate is also called the infant mortality rate. The infant mortality rate is an important measure of the well-being of infants, children, and pregnant women because it is associated with a variety of factors, such as maternal health, qua [..]

Taux de mortalité

The number of deaths occurring per 1,000 people.

the ratio of the total number of deaths to the total population in a given time and area. Also called the mortality rate.

The number of people dying per 1,000 population. The death rate is compared with the birth rate to indicate the natural population growth of a country. (Net migration is also needed in the calculation [..]

See Mortality Rate.

A ratio of the number dying in a given period (usually one year) to the number of living at the beginning of the year. Usually the group involved is all of one age.

the number of deaths divided by the total mid-year population, described as a rate per 1,000 people in a given year.

The death rate is calculated by dividing the number of deaths in a population in a year by the midyear resident population. For census years, rates are based on unrounded census counts of the resident population as of April 1. Death rates are expressed as the number of deaths per 100,000 people. The rate may be restricted to deaths in specific age, [..]
