Preferred term

mortality rates  

Definition(s)

  • Mortality rates (synonym: death rates) are used to quantify the tendency to die in a population during a given time period. Since death can be considered as the utmost form of “unhealthiness” or “disease,” mortality rates are major (inverse) health indicators. [Source: Encyclopedia of Epidemiology; Mortality Rates]
