Concepts
  • AVERAGE POPULATION:  The average population during a calendar year, generally calculated as the arithmetic mean of the population on two consecutive years.
  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  Period to which the information refers and which may be a specific day or a time interval (month, fiscal year, calendar year, among others).
  • DEATH:  The permanent disappearance of vital functions.
  • EUROPEAN STANDARD POPULATION:  Theoretical population, adding up to a total of 100,000, widely used to produce European age-standardized rates in order to compensate for differences in age structure between different countries.
Definition STANDARDIZED MORTALITY RATE BY AGE (less than 75 years) - It involves the application of crude death rate by age (younger than 75 years), a standard population (younger than 75 years) whose age structure is fixed and distributed in the same age groups the crude death rates (expressed as deaths per 100 000 inhabitants). The calculus is based on standard European population (2013 version) defined by EUROSTAT. As a rule, the mortality rates are not calculated when the place of residence or age are unknown.
