Include age-adjusted rates?
Crude rates are reported by default. Indicate that you wish to calculate age-adjusted rates by clicking the preferred radio button. Then choose the standard population to use for the ratios in the calculation. For more information, see: Age-Adjusted Rates and Frequently Asked Questions about Death Rates. How? See How do I use a radio button? Notes: • Group your data by any variable, except for Age Groups. You are prevented from grouping the data by age groups when requesting age-adjusted rates for Compressed Mortality data, because any single age group alone yields a corresponding weight of 1. • Likewise, you must select more than 1 age group when requesting age-adjusted rates for Compressed Mortality data. • Deaths coded to the “unknown” age groups do not yield a proportional weight, as there is no corresponding population value. • Select the combined age group for all persons less than 1 year of age. Age-adjusted rates are not available for deaths codes to the specific Infant Age Gro
