•  Age-standardized mortality rate

  File:Merge-arrow. svg It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Age adjustment. Age-standardized mortality rates are used to compare the mortality rates of places without being skewed by the difference in age distributions from place to place. Standardized rates are favored over Crude Rates because they take age groups into consideration, e.g. one should not compare a population of over-70s to a younger population in another region.
