Q - Standard Population by Age and Age-specific Mortality Rates for Communities A and B.

Age (years)	Standard Population for (A and B)	Mortality Rate in A (per 1,000)	Expected Cases at A's rates	Mortality Rate in B (per 1,000)	Expected Cases at B's rates
Under 1	9,500	25.0		35.0
1-4	55,000	7.0		3.0
15-34	75,000	5.0		10.0
35-54	65,000	25.0		15.0
55-64	30,000	3.0		7.0
65 and older	35,000	75.0		80.0
All ages	269,500	42.5		21.3

1. Using the appropriate adjustment method, calculate the overall adjusted mortality rates for Communities A and B respectively with the given standard population. Indicate which adjustment method was used. 2. Can you calculatethe SMR for Communities A and B from the information provided? Explain the reason for your answer.
