Mortality refers to the incidence of death within a population during a specific period, often expressed as the number of deaths per 1,000 individuals. It is a crucial measure in demography and public health, providing insights into population health, disease prevalence, and life expectancy.
Mortality rates can vary due to factors such as age, gender, socio-economic status, access to healthcare, and environmental conditions.
Understanding mortality patterns helps policymakers develop interventions to improve healthcare systems, prevent diseases, and enhance overall well-being.
