Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program.SEER*E:// Answer in complete sentences. (4 points)From 2015 to 2019, there were 445.5 cases per 100,000 for all cancer sites combined in bothsexes: 419.9 cases per 100,000 for women and 484.7 cases per 100,000 for men. Females saw64.8% lower 5-year age-adjusted incidence rates for all cancer sites from 2015 to 2019 whencompared to their male counterparts.5.The rates in this table are age-adjusted, which means that the differences in rates seenbetween the populations are not due to age, but to other factors. Why is it important toadjust for the effects of age, particularly for cancer incidence and mortality? (4 points)It is crucial to account for the impacts of age because it assures that variations in incidencerates and mortality rates during the course of the study are not caused by the populations
