In 2000, there were 3,000 deaths due to heart diseases in miners aged 20 to 64 years. The expected number of deaths in this group, based on age-specific death rate from heart diseases in all males aged 20 to 64 years, was 2,800 during 2000. What was the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for heart diseases in miners (report your answer as percentage)?

Answer :

Answer:

SMR = 1.07

Explanation:

Given data:

number of death from heard disease = 3000

Expected number of death in the above group from 24 to 64 age is 2800

we know that standard mortality ratio is given as

[tex]SMR = \frac{observed\ death\ in\ study}{expected\ death}[/tex]

putting all value to get SMR value

[tex]SMR = \frac{3000}{2800}[/tex]

SMR = 1.07
