Pediatrics, 1989
We are fortunate to receive Myron Wegman's annual summary of vital statistics in the December issue of Pediatrics. This valuable information is not readily available to the pediatrician. I am somewhat discomforted by the emphasis continually made by health authorities and lay press on the United States' unfavorable international position

Nursing Standard, 1991
Death rates for boys and girls aged 5-9 fell by 48 per cent between 1971 and 1988, and by 30 per cent for boys and 38 percent for girls aged 10-14 according to the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys. Over the same period stillbirth and neonatal death rates decreased by over 55 per cent, and postnatal by almost one third.

The American Journal of Surgery, 1935
Abstract The appendicitis death rates are much higher for all age groups in the Rocky Mountain region than any other section of the country. This relatively high mortality may be due to a greater incidence of the disease than in other parts of the United States.

Journal of Zoology, 1997
Life‐table data of 56 natural populations of mammals were analysed, modelling mortality rate as a three‐phase step function of age (the step model) instead of using the Gompertz model. In the step model, mortality rale is constant in each phase. The phases correspond to juveniles and young and old adults.

On the Calculation of Rates of Mortality
Transactions of the Faculty of Actuaries, 1926Synopsis of PaperThe Paper is an attempt to suggest a method of estimating the mortality of the future from the records of the past.In Part I., after a brief discussion of the existing methods of calculating rates of mortality, a new method of employing past results called the “cumulative process” is suggested.

Summary In this note a suggestion for calculating a more refined rate of infant mortality is put forward, which does not necessitate the tabulation of infant deaths by month of birth and death.

Mortality and offtake rates, as other rates that will be described in Chap. 4, can represent two distinct parameters: a probability (say p) or a hazard rate (say h). Although definitions for p and h are often presented as preliminaries in statistical books [42–44], this is less common in tropical livestock literature, except in few specialized ...

Since at least the mid-19th century there has been considerable interest and debate with regard to whether and how obesity is associated with mortality. Although a common view a century agowas thatweightswewould consider excessive today were innocuous and perhaps even desirable, case reports coupled with data from the life insurance industry suggested ...
