The number of deaths in a population during a given period is referred to as the mortality rate. It is typically expressed as the number of deaths per 1,000 individuals per year. This rate helps in understanding the health and demographic trends within a population.
Mortality is another term for death. A mortality rate is the number of deaths due to a disease divided by the total population. If there are 25 lung cancer deaths in one year in a population of 30,000, then the mortality rate for that population is 83 per 100,000.
