Age standardised mortality rate

Direct age standardization and indirect age standardization are two methods for comparing the mortality rates of two populations. This is sometimes called the age adjusted mortality rate. These are methods used in public health and epidemiology to better understand death rates.

Greg, you have the gift of being able to make the complex sound simple. Thanks for the videos!

[georgie]

Your videos are so helpful!! I am currently studying an MSc in Epidemiology at University of Edinburgh and came across your videos when doing my Data Analysis in R module. Your videos are always clear, concise, explained well and upbeat!

[hassansci]

This is a gift from the heavens. My professor just glossed over it without explaining what was happening. It is now clear is water. Thank you.

[robbinburns]

Direct age standardization totally makes sense and I've been able to use your format to make some comparisons. Still trying to rap my head around the indirect age standardization.

[Himalayanfalcon]

Very informative, you removed all my confusions 😊😊

[jeffreyrobens]

Hands down the clearest explanation of standardization to control for confounding factors, thanks a million!

[melissaurena]

Thank you so muchhh!🥺 you made understanding this topics so entertaining and useful.🌼

This guy is the definition of: I dont fuck around. Rarely straight forward

[hajraadil]

it couldn't have been more easier, I m doing msph and your videos are of immense help 👍

[lauren]

I was rereading the same chapter of my textbook trying to wrap my head around this concept but here you are explaining it for me in 8 minutes! Great video

[AmrFleifle]

Your illustration is just amazing! The graphs and even the sound of each element .... simply outstanding!

[ephraimduke]

Thank you very useful stuff . Boomshakalaka 😄

Thank you
I have a question how to calculate smr for a specific disease like MS

[Buck]

Is the crude mortality rate a measure of incidence density or case fatality and how do you know?

[tmash]

That's a bit fast for calculations

[rishikakushwaha]

Does working in public health organizations offer you to travel to different places(posting in different places ) or you have to stay in one place only?

[xcastcastone]

so helpful! I wonder is it possible to use standardization to standardize other rate, such as morbidity rate or hospital admission rate? or is it only specific for standardize mortality rate? and do we always need to standardize every data we read before making interpretation? I really appreciate if you could answer my questions....

[gootube]

Thought this video was awesome. Well explained, well presented, top job!

Sir i have a doubt in direct standardization in age 75
Single men population is less but the rate is high
But in married men population is more but rate is less
The doubt is for small population death rate is high the single men are at high risk right


Another doubt is Crude mortality rate is low in single and age specific death rate is high in single can you clear my doubt pls 😢

[kanchanaerandijayamanna]

Yes, you are absolutely correct. after so much of effort, I understood the standardization....👍
