  • EUROPEAN STANDARD POPULATION:  Theoretical population, adding up to a total of 100,000, widely used to produce European age-standardized rates in order to compensate for differences in age structure between different countries.
  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  Period to which the information refers and which may be a specific day or a time interval (month, fiscal year, calendar year, among others).
  • AVERAGE POPULATION:  The average population during a calendar year, generally calculated as the arithmetic mean of the population on two consecutive years.
  • DEATH:  The permanent disappearance of vital functions.
Definition STANDARDIZED MORTALITY RATE BY AGE
It involves the application of crude death rate by age, a standard population whose age structure is fixed and distributed in the same age groups the crude death rates (expressed as deaths per 100 000 inhabitants). The calculus is based on standard European population (IARC, Lyon 1976) defined by the World Health Organization.
