16) You have calculated the crude and age-adjusted mortality rates for City A and City B, and obtained the following rates (per 1000 population).In bullets:Interpret these results. What can you say about age specific rates for these cities? (5 points).

Rate (per 1000)City ACity B

Crude death rate7.310.4

Age-adjusted death rate10.210.3

With similar age-specific rates, when put to same standard population they produce similar standaridzed rates in both cities.

Both Cities almost have the same age-adjusted rates.

Age-specific rates are very similar.

They do not have sim ilar age distribution.

17) You have calculated thecrude and age-adjusted mortality rates for City C and City D, and obtained following rates (per 1000 population).In bullets: Interpret these results. What can you say about age specific rates in these cities? (5 points).

Rate (per 1000)City CCity D

Crude death rate8.18.0

Age-adjusted death rate7.015.0

City C - 8.1/1000 deaths and City D 8.0/1000 deaths

City D death rate is higher.

Different Age-adjusted rates tell us that age-specfic is different. Different Age-specfic in the cities when they are withthe same standard popuation, they will produce different age-adjusted rates in the two cities. C and D.

18) In questions 16 and 17: Are some populations with a similar age structure as the standard population? Why or why not?
