Abstract
Background: Crude mortality, cause-specific mortality, and age-specific mortality rates are important measures in epidemiology to understand the frequency and causes of death within a population. Aim of the Study: This study aimed to assess crude mortality with cause and age specific mortality rates in Altarmiyah district, Iraq. Methods: This cross-sectional study included data of 1357 deaths listed in healthcare records in Altarmiyah district, Iraq in the years 2019 – 2023. Total population in the same duration was 823739. Data of the enrolled subjects was listed including age, gender, occupation, marital status, place of death and cause of death. Measurement of crude, age-specific, sex-specific and cause specific mortality rates was performed. Results: Crude mortality rate in this study in the study duration 2019-2023 equaled 1.6 per 1000 population. Most common cause of mortality was cardiovascular disease (53.13%) followed by neurological (15.84%) and respiratory diseases (12.68%). Predominant age of death was more than 60 years (72%) followed by 41 – 60 years (15%) than less than 6 years (7.6%). Gender distribution of mortality was nearly equal between males and females.
