Mortality rate

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Mortality rate is a measure of the number of deaths in a population. It is generally expressed in units of deaths per 1000 individuals per year. As such, a mortality rate of 15 out of 1,000 individuals means 15 deaths per year in that entire population. In other words, the rate of 15 deaths out of 1000 suggests that there is 1.5% of the whole population who dies in a year...
