Mortality
The document discusses key concepts related to mortality rates and life expectancy. It begins by defining mortality and some of the determinants that influence death rates. It then provides data on crude death rates globally and by region/country. Subsequent sections cover age-sex specific death rates, differences in mortality trends between more and less developed countries, and factors that have contributed to changes in mortality over time such as public health interventions and medical advances.
