In 2001, a total of 15,555 homicide deaths occurred among males and 4,753 homicide deaths
occurred among females. The estimated 2001 midyear populations for males and females were
139,813,000 and 144,984,000, respectively. Calculate the homicide-related death rates for
females. - Answer 3.3 homicide deaths ⁄ 100,000 population among females

Deaths Attributed to HIV or Leukemia by Age Group — United States, 2002
What is the HIV-related mortality rate, all ages?
Correct! - Answer 4.9 HIV deaths per 100,000 population
HIV-related mortality rate, all ages
= (# deaths from HIV ⁄ estimated population, 2002) × 100,000
= (14,095 ⁄ 288,357,000) × 100,000
= 4.9 HIV deaths per 100,000 population
What is the mortality from influenza during the 2016 season in the old age group at Minas
Tirith? Use the following table to answer the question.
Number of Residents, Diagnosed Cases, and Deaths From Influenza by Age - Answer 50
deaths/1,000 people
In 2016 there were 7,467 million people in the world. According to the World Health
Organization, in the same year there were 56.9 million deaths worldwide; of those, 15.2 million
were due to ischemic heart disease or stroke. What was the proportionate mortality of those
two causes combined for that year? - Answer 26.7%

City A and City B? Use the following table to answer the question.
Number of Residents and Deaths From Disease X by Age Group in City A and City B - Answer
For direct age-adjustment, the weight for a given age category is the number of individuals in
the standard population for that age group.
What is the crude death rate from disease X for City A? Use the following table to answer the
question.
Number of Residents and Deaths From Disease X by Age Group in City A and City B - Answer
53 deaths/1,000 people
City A suffered some political changes and was divided into two cities named Alpha and Beta.
Five years after the division, mortality rates in both cities are compared. The all-cause mortality
rate in City Alpha is much higher than the rate in Beta. When looking at the demographic
characteristics in the cities, you notice that the age distribution is almost exactly the same in
both cities. What do you expect to find when the age-adjusted mortality rates are calculated
and compared? - Answer City Alpha will have a much higher age-adjusted mortality rate than
Beta.
In 2001, a total of 15,555 homicide deaths occurred among males and 4,753 homicide deaths
occurred among females. The estimated 2001 midyear populations for males and females were
139,813,000 and 144,984,000, respectively. Calculate the ratio of homicide-mortality rates for
males compared to females. - Answer 11.1 ⁄ 3.3
A researcher finds that the standardized mortality rate (SMR) for epidemiologists compared
with the general population is 100. What does that mean? - Answer The observed number of
deaths for epidemiologists is the same as the expected.
