Age-adjustment mortality rates are rates of deaths that are computed using a statistical method to create a metric based on the true death rate so that it can be compared over time for a single population (i.e. comparing 2006-2008 to 2010-2012), as well as enable comparisons across different populations with possibly different age distributions in their populations (i.e. comparing Hispanic residents to Asian residents). Age adjustment methods applied to Montgomery County rates are consistent with US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) as well as Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Vital Statistics Administration (DHMH VSA). PHS Planning and Epidemiology receives an annual data file of Montgomery County resident deaths registered with Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Vital Statistics Administration (DHMH VSA). Using SAS analytic software, MCDHHS standardizes, aggregates, and calculates age-adjusted rates for each of the leading causes of death category consistent with state and national methods and by subgroups based on age, gender, race, and ethnicity combinations. Data are released in compliance with Data Use Agreements between DHMH VSA and MCDHHS. This dataset will be updated Annually.

This table provides the age-standardized mortality rates per 100,000 population, for the three selected causes of death and all causes combined. The three selected causes of death are Circulatory System, Neoplasms and External Causes (Injury). Age standardization is a technique applied to make rates comparable across groups with different age distributions. A simple rate is defined as the number of people with a particular condition divided by the whole population. An age-standardized rate is defined as the number of people with a condition divided by the population within each age group. Standardizing (adjusting) the rate across age groups allows a more accurate comparison between populations that have different age structures. Age standardization is typically done when comparing rates across time periods, different geographic areas, and or population sub-groups (e.g. ethnic group). This indicator dataset contains information at both Local Geographic Area (for example, Lacombe, Red Deer - North, Calgary - West Bow, etc.) and Alberta levels. Local geographic area refers to 132 geographic areas created by Alberta Health (AH) and Alberta Health Services (AHS) based on census boundaries. This table is the part of "Alberta Health Primary Health Care - Community Profiles" report published February 2013

How the Dataset was Created

This Dataset was created from the Excel Spreadsheet, which can be found in the download. Or, you can view the source here. If you take a look at the row for United States, for the column Mortality Rate, 1980*, you'll see the set of numbers 1.52 (1.44, 1.61). Numbers in parentheses are 95% uncertainty. The 1.52 is an age-standardized mortality rate for both sexes combined (deaths per 100,000 population).

In this Dataset 1.44 will be placed in the named column Mortality Rage, 1989 (Min)* and 1.61 is in column named Mortality Rate, 1980 (Max)* . For information on how these Age-standardized mortality rates were calculated, see the December JAMA 2016 article, which you can download for free.

This dataset presents information on age-standardized mortality rates for Alberta, Alberta Health Services (AHS) continuum zones, and its former health regions, by cause of death, per 100,000 population (for cause of death derived from ICD9 codes).

The table displays weekly age standardized mortality rates for every province in Canada (excluding territories), by sex, since 2019. The standardization is done using the 2011 Canadian population.

This dataset presents information on age-standardized mortality rates due to injury for Alberta and selected geographies expressed as per 100,000 population.

The age- and sex-standardised rate obtained by direct standardisation is the rate that would be observed in the population studied if it had the same age structure as a reference population, here the 2013 standard European population. It is calculated by weighting the observed age-specific mortality rates in the population by the age structure of the reference population.

Number of deaths, crude mortality rates and age standardized mortality rates (based on 2011 population) for selected grouped causes, by sex, 2000 to most recent year.

This dataset of U.S. mortality trends since 1900 highlights childhood mortality rates by age group for age at death. Age-adjusted death rates (deaths per 100,000) after 1998 are calculated based on the 2000 U.S. standard population. Populations used for computing death rates for 2011–2017 are postcensal estimates based on the 2010 census, estimated as of July 1, 2010. Rates for census years are based on populations enumerated in the corresponding censuses. Rates for noncensus years between 2000 and 2010 are revised using updated intercensal population estimates and may differ from rates previously published. Data on age-adjusted death rates prior to 1999 are taken from historical data (see References below). Age groups for childhood death rates are based on age at death.

Stroke Mortality Rates in the US (Age-Standardized) 2012-2014

State/Territory and County Data

By US Open Data Portal, data.gov [source]

About this dataset

This dataset contains primary stroke mortality data from 2012 to 2014 among US adults aged 35+ across all states/territories and counties. Data is age-standardized and county rates are spatially smoothed to provide a better and more accurate view of the prevalence of mortality due to stroke. The data evaluation can be further divided by gender, race/ethnicity, stratification category 1, stratification 1, stratification category 2, or stratification 2. All data is sourced from the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) ensuring it's accuracy and reliability. For even more information regarding heart disease related deaths as well as methodology employed in mapping such occurrences visit the Interactive Atlas of Heart Disease and Stroke. Looking deeper into these numbers may reveal hidden trends that could lead us closer towards reducing stroke related mortality in adults across our nation!

How to use the dataset

The U.S. Stroke Mortality Rates (Age-Standardized) 2012-2014 dataset provides stroke mortality rates for adults aged 35 and over living in the United States from 2012 to 2014. This dataset is an ideal resource for examining the impact of stroke at a local or national level.

This guide will provide an introduction to understanding and using this data correctly, as well as highlighting some potential areas of investigation it may be used for:

• Understanding the Context: The first step towards understanding this data is to take a close look at its features and categories. These include year, location, geography level, data source, class, topic, value type/unit/ footnote symbol and stratification category/stratification which allow you to view data through multiple ways (e.g., by age group or by race).

  You can also filter your results with these attributes including specific years or different locations in order explore particular conditions within a certain area or year range (e.g., how many stroke related deaths occurred among blacks in California between 2012 – 2014?). It’s important to note that all county age-standardized rates are spatially smoothed — meaning each county rate is adjusted taking into account nearby counties — so the results you get might reflect wider regional trends more than actual localized patterns associated with individual counties.)

• Accessing & Previewing Data: Once you have familiarised yourself with the library concept behind this dataset it’s time access it's contents directly! To download your desired subset inside Kaggle platform just open up csv file titled 'csv- 1'. Alternatively ,you can use other open source tools such as Exasol Analytic Database technology (available on built-in 'notebook' feature) if you want work on even larger datasets with more processing power come into play ! Inside visualization tab users will be able view chart graphs( pie charts histograms etc ) from their query results .And once completed feel free export their respective visuals SVG PNG PDF formats too .

• Finding Answers: With all these processes complete ,you now should have plenty of datasets ready go in advance - great start but what does story tell us ? Well break things down compare different groups slices look at correlations trends deviations across various demographic filters questions about causal effects become much easier answer ! Leave creative freedom your side let those numbers feel ! So try pose some interesting interesting hypothesis determine how above factors could change across different states spend hours going through wealth

Research Ideas

• Utilizing location-specific stroke mortality data to pinpoint areas that need targeted public health interventions and outreach.
• Analyzing the correlation between age-standardized stroke mortality rates and demographic data, such as gender, race/ethnicity or socioeconomic status.
• Creating strategies focused on reducing stroke mortality in high risk demographic groups based on findings from the datasets geographical and sociological analysis tools

Background: Mortality rate rapidly decreases with age after birth, and, simultaneously, the spectrum of death causes show remarkable changes with age. This study analyzed age-associated decreases in mortality rate from diseases of all main chapters of the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases.Methods: The number of deaths was extracted from the mortality database of the World Health Organization. As zero cases could be ascertained for a specific age category, the Halley method was used to calculate the mortality rates in all possible calendar years and in all countries combined.Results: All causes mortality from the 1st day of life to the age of 10 years can be represented by an inverse proportion model with a single parameter. High coefficients of determination were observed for total mortality in all populations (arithmetic mean = 0.9942 and standard deviation = 0.0039).Slower or no mortality decrease with age was detected in the 1st year of life, while the inverse proportion method was valid for the age range [1, 10) years in most of all main chapters with three exceptions. The decrease was faster for the chapter “Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period” (XVI).The inverse proportion was valid already from the 1st day for the chapter “Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities” (XVII).The shape of the mortality decrease was very different for the chapter “Neoplasms” (II) and the rates of mortality from neoplasms were age-independent in the age range [1, 10) years in all populations.Conclusion: The theory of congenital individual risks of death is presented and can explain the results. If it is valid, latent congenital impairments may be present among all cases of death that are not related to congenital impairments. All results are based on published data, and the data are presented as a supplement.
