GlossaryMortality

refers to the incidence of death within a population

Mortality refers to the incidence of death within a specific population, often expressed as a rate per unit of population over a given time period, such as deaths per 1,000 or 100,000 individuals per year. It is a crucial metric in public health and epidemiology for assessing the overall health and longevity of populations, identifying risk factors, and evaluating the effectiveness of health interventions.
