How do I calculate age specific rates
Here' the answer to the question with full concept. Please don't hesitate to give a "thumbs up" in case you're satisfied with the answer
To calculate the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR), we must first calculatethe age-specific (mortality) rates for each age group by dividing the number of deaths by the respective population, and then multiplying the resulting number by 100,000
In other words:
An age-specific rate is calculated in the same manner as the crude rate except that both the number of events and the mid-year population are restricted to a given age group
ASR = (E/P)*100,000
where,
E = number of events
P = population at mid year
