mortality rates
Population death frequency
Mortality rates measure how many deaths occur in a population over a specific period, typically expressed per thousand or per hundred thousand people.
Public health officials track mortality rates to assess disease impact, healthcare effectiveness, and demographic trends: The mortality rate from heart disease has declined significantly since the 1960s.
Infant mortality rates—deaths of children under one year—serve as key indicators of a nation's overall health and development.
