Standardised death rate due to homicide by sex

The indicator measures the standardised death rate of homicide and injuries inflicted by another person with the intent to injure or kill by any means, including ‘late effects’ from assault (International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes X85 to Y09 and Y87.1). It does not include deaths due to legal interventions or war (ICD codes Y35 and Y36). Data on causes of death (COD) refer to the underlying cause which - according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) - is "the disease or injury which initiated the train of morbid events leading directly to death, or the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced the fatal injury". COD data are derived from death certificates. The medical certification of death is an obligation in all Member States. The data are presented as standardised death rates, meaning they are adjusted to a standard age distribution in order to measure death rates independently of different age structures of populations. This approach improves comparability over time and between countries. The standardised death rates used here are calculated on the basis of the standard European population referring to the residents of the countries.

该指标用于衡量凶杀及他人以伤害或杀害为意图、通过任何方式造成的伤害导致的标准化死亡率，包括攻击（assault）的“迟发效应”（国际疾病分类（International Classification of Diseases，ICD）编码X85至Y09及Y87.1）。该指标不包括因合法干预或战争导致的死亡（ICD编码Y35和Y36）。死因（causes of death，COD）数据指根本死因——根据世界卫生组织（World Health Organisation，WHO）的定义，根本死因是"引发直接导致死亡的一系列病态事件的疾病或损伤，或造成致命伤害的事故或暴力情境"。死因数据来源于死亡证明。所有成员国均有义务进行死亡医学证明。数据以标准化死亡率呈现，即通过调整至标准年龄分布，使死亡率测量不受不同人口年龄结构的影响。该方法提升了不同时期及国家间的可比性。此处使用的标准化死亡率基于标准欧洲人口计算，以各国居民为参考。
