Age standardised mortality rate

The video tutorial by Greg Martin explains mortality rates, focusing on crude mortality rates and the impact of age structure on these rates. It introduces indirect and direct age standardization methods to adjust for age differences in populations, using examples from Ireland and comparisons between single and married men. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of considering age as a confounding factor when comparing mortality rates across different populations.

How does age structure act as a confounding factor in mortality rate comparisons?

Describe the process of indirect age standardization as explained in the video.

What conclusion can be drawn about the mortality rates of single men compared to married men after adjusting for age?
