mortality rate
Population death measure
Mortality rate is a measure of the frequency of deaths in a population over a given period, typically expressed as deaths per thousand or per hundred thousand people annually.
Public health officials track mortality rates to assess disease impact, healthcare effectiveness, and demographic trends: The mortality rate from heart disease has declined.
Infant mortality rate specifically measures deaths of children under one year old.
